His meteoric rise from a GLORY Kickboxing standout to an MMA juggernaut is one of the most remarkable journeys in combat sports history.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a recent loss to Ciryl Gane in his highly anticipated heavyweight debut, Pereira remains a fan favorite as he prepares for his likely return to the heavyweight division. A matchup with the likes of Josh Hokit is one possibility for Pereira\u2019s next fight.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Pereira has remained busy coaching his younger sister, Aline, during his rising MMA career. The former GLORY star is 3-2 in her MMA career with a recent win over Jade Masson-Wong by split decision on the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano undercard.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a small sample size, Aline will get the chance to fight for a UFC contract later this year.<\/p>\n<h2>Aline Pereira, sister of Alex Pereira, added to Dana White\u2019s Contender Series slate<\/h2>\n<p>As first reported by MMA journalist <em>Leo Guimaraes<\/em>, Aline Pereira will face Smilla Sundell\u00a0 (2-0 in MMA) on the October 13th DWCS card. Sundell, a former Muay Thai standout in ONE Championship, will fight Pereira after two wins in Tuff \u2018N Uff to begin her MMA career.<\/p>\n<p>Pereira vs. Sundell is expected to be a striking-friendly bout between two dangerous kickboxers. The card also features a matchup between unbeaten middleweights Davi Cabral and Douglas da Lapa.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, Alex Pereira\u2019s timeline for a UFC return remains uncertain. He could potentially return to the Octagon for the UFC\u2019s upcoming Madison Square Garden card, or the UFC 335 card in December in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Who should Alex Pereira fight in his UFC return?
