Alex Pereira has gone viral after footage emerged of him enjoying a light sparring session with Dutch model and influencer Vera Dijkman while he waits for his next UFC booking.
The reigning light heavyweight star hasn’t fought since reclaiming his title with a rapid knockout of Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320 last October. Pereira is currently weighing up a potential move to heavyweight, with a long-rumoured clash against Jon Jones still on his radar.
The playful training clip, shared by Dijkman with her millions of followers, sparked chatter online, especially given Pereira’s recent personal news. Earlier this month, UFC flyweight Tracy Cortez confirmed she was dating Pereira, only for the Brazilian to announce nine days later that the relationship had ended.
Cortez has not commented publicly on the split, while Pereira appears relaxed and keeping busy in the gym as fans await news of his next fight.
