Alice Pereira has already made history in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), but she doesn't intend to stop there. After becoming the youngest fighter to compete in the organization, the Brazilian now aims for an even bigger goal. In a recent statement, the athlete opened her heart about her future plans.

In an interview with the UFC, Alice revealed that she wants to be a role model outside of fighting, serving as an example for children and young people who face difficulties but continue to believe in their dreams. Even with the record already secured, the Brazilian demonstrates maturity when talking about the future.

"To future generations, I would say: 'Yes, you can. You can achieve your dreams.' I would tell any boy or girl that it doesn't matter if the days are difficult, if you wake up tired, train tired, go to sleep tired, or feel tired all the time."

"It doesn't matter. It's worth it. If you keep working hard, you'll achieve your dreams. So, to all the children, I say: 'Yes, you can,'" Alice Pereira said in an interview.

When did Alice Pereira become the youngest athlete to fight in the UFC?

The historic feat occurred on September 13, 2025 , when Alice, at just 19 years, eight months, and 24 days old, stepped into the octagon at Noche UFC in San Antonio. The achievement is even more impressive considering the context, as the young woman had only had five professional fights before reaching the biggest stage in the sport.
