Aline Pereira is heading to the MVP MMA 1 Netflix card, where she will face Masson-Wong in a 130-pound catchweight bout on a night headlined by Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano. For Pereira, the booking is another step in a career that has moved across combat sports before settling into mixed martial arts.
The 35-year-old from São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, has built that path one discipline at a time. She went 6-2 in kickboxing, fought for a GLORY title in 2021 and later put together a 3-0 run in Karate Combat, a stretch that made her the first-ever Women’s Flyweight Champion in the promotion. Those results gave her a base that has followed her into MMA, where she is 2-2 and coming off a decision win over Nejra Repp in LFA in 2025.
The card itself gives Pereira a broader stage than most fighters get for a bout at this weight. MVP MMA 1 is built around the return of two names that defined eras in women’s fighting, and Pereira now sits on the same show with a chance to add to her own case in front of a larger audience. A win would not only extend her current momentum, it would also show how far her game has come since her days bouncing between kickboxing and Karate Combat.
Her story also fits the larger rise of the Pereira family in combat sports. Her older brother, Alex Pereira, has already been rewriting UFC history and holding titles across multiple divisions, setting a standard that has put the surname in the center of the sport. Aline Pereira is not trying to copy that path so much as build her own around the same family drive, using a mix of striking pedigree and recent MMA experience to stay relevant as she moves up to another major card.
What comes next is clear enough. Pereira gets Masson-Wong at 130 pounds, with a win offering fresh traction in MMA and another reminder that her career has never belonged to just one rule set. In a family already tied to championship runs, this is another fight that could widen her place in the conversation.
