Alex Pereira’s defeat against Magomed Ankalaev has shaken his fans—but guess who’s celebrating? It’s Pereira’s ex-flame, Merle Christine.“We have a new light heavyweight champion… no more Chama. Karma,” she said with a smile. ‘Poatan’s’ fans didn’t take kindly to her comments, hitting back hard on social media, leaving Merle to defend herself against the backlash.
Merle didn’t stop there but she went on to praise Magomed Ankalaev for his feats, “This guy won, and actually, he got this title shot very late, right? So, I think we should give him some props. Even if we don’t like him or don’t like his fighting style, we should give him some props. No more chama.” Her video was later shared by the ‘FullSend MMA shared’ and Pereira took it a bit personally.
“I think she should stop mentioning my name cause her husband might get jealous, Chama,” wrote Pereira on the Instagram post. Interestingly, even Plinio Cruz took his time to call out Merle, “She should walk to the sunset and give her attention to her husband since she was splitting her time between him and Poatan for a year without no one knowing…”
Well, as things take a downturn for the MMA podcaster, Merle shared a photo of her on her Instagram story with the caption, “They thought she is a golddigger, but she is the GOLD digga.” The post stirred up significant controversy, prompting Merle to follow up with another one mocking Pereira’s “cute little fanboys.”

After the fallout of their relationship, both of them have been calling each other out on several occasions but what was the reason for their breakup? When people from Full Send Podcast asked the questions to the former lightweight champ, he said, “Well, it’s a little hard to talk about this because, for me, I already deleted this person from my life. I would also like to ask my fans to delete her from your life.”
He further added, “It was a person I believed, I put her in my house, with my family. After all, I found out, she was married.” Well, even though both of them are separated, it appears that the scars of the past are still with them.
