"Her punches are loopy and come from the hip rather than straight down the pipe. With her long frame, she should be pumping the jab constantly, yet she rarely throws it. Throwing from the hip can sometimes work since it makes her strikes harder to read, but with her build, a steady jab, teep, and straight one-two would make her a much more dangerous fighter."
"Alice "Golden Girl" Pereira Standing at five-foot-ten Fighting at 135 lbs (bantamweight) 19-years-old Fighting out of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil Training out of LIFE MMA A pro record of 6-0 4 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission It's rare to see prospects signed straight into the UFC, but Pereira is an exception, largely because she's a young female fighter in the bantamweight division. Women's bantamweight is notoriously shallow, so when a promising fighter emerges, the UFC tends to snatch them up quickly."
Alice Pereira, 19, makes a UFC debut at bantamweight while holding a 6-0 professional record with four KO/TKOs and one submission. She stands five-foot-ten, fights out of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil, and trains at LIFE MMA. Pereira draws Montserrat Rendon in her octagon debut. She was signed quickly due to the shallow depth of women's bantamweight and her high finish rate despite a short resume. Early opponents included several with losing records plus a 2-0 prospect and a former ONE title challenger. Pereira shows potential but needs technical refinement, range control, and a more consistent jab.
