Encouraged by Alex Poatan , Aline Pereira has been forging her own path in combat sports. Despite her uneven record in MMA, the Brazilian has gained a significant career opportunity by being selected to compete in Netflix's first MMA event, headlined by Francis Ngannou and Ronda Rousey , scheduled to take place on May 16th in California (USA). In the high-profile show, the athlete will face Jade Masson-Wong.
The surprising announcement was made by 'Most Valuable Promotions', Jake Paul 's company responsible for promoting the show, this Tuesday (24). In MMA, Poatan's sister, 35, has a record consisting of two wins and two losses.

In any case, Aline comes into the fight riding a four-fight winning streak, three in Karate Combat and one in LFA, in her last mixed martial arts bout, held in November. The 33-year-old Canadian, on the other hand, specializes in boxing and has three wins and two losses. Unsurprisingly, Poatan's sister was thrilled with this unique career opportunity.
"Great news! I'll be fighting at the Rousey vs. Carano event, promoted by Most Valuable Promotions, live on Netflix! I'm excited to show everything I've been training for! Mark your calendars: May 16th!", the fighter wrote on her official Instagram account.
