Aline Pereira Wins Flyweight Title at Karate Combat 56 in Miami

Aline Pereira joined her brother Alex Pereira in championship glory Saturday night, capturing the vacant Karate Combat flyweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Fani Peloumpi in the co-main event of Karate Combat 56.

Fighting in Miami, Pereira, 34, delivered a strong performance to earn the belt, with former two-division UFC champion Alex Pereira and coach Plinio Cruz in her corner. The win marked Pereira’s third consecutive victory in the promotion.

Pereira entered the bout as a heavy favorite after scoring knockout wins in her first two Karate Combat appearances. Much like her brother, her signature weapon has been the left hook—a technique that played a prominent role in Saturday’s title-winning effort.

While Pereira’s record in MMA stands at 1-2, she has found renewed success and identity in Karate Combat, now becoming one of the rising stars and faces of the organization.
