Alex Pereira's ex-girlfriend reacted to Magomed Ankalaev becoming the new UFC light heavyweight champion.
At UFC 313, Ankalaev started a new chapter in the 205-pound division by securing a title-winning unanimous decision against Pereira.
Many fans were disappointed to see Pereira lose. Meanwhile, the Brazilian superstar's ex-girlfriend, Merle Christine, shared a video on social media saying this:
"We have a new light heavyweight champion. No more Chama. Karma. He lost on International Women's Day. Maybe that's a sign guys, I don't know. New light heavyweight champion, Ankalaev, congrats. He did a really good job. If you guys are talking robbery, you don't understand anything from MMA."

Pereira's ex-girlfriend followed up by saying:
"So, let's not talk about robbery. That's completely BS. This guy won and actually he got this title shot very late, right? So, I think we should give him some props. Even if we don't like him or don't like his fighting style we should give him some props. No more chama."
