Alex Pereira slams journalist, alleges misleading reporting

Prior to the Amanda Torres fight at Karate Combat 52, Aline Pereira told MMA Fighting's journalist Guilherme Cruz that she has been working part-time to support herself and her son while seeking a career in combat sports. As such, Alex Pereira came under heavy criticism for failing to support his sister despite being a global superstar.

'Poatan' responded by criticizing the reporter on social media for attempting to mislead the public, writing:

''Bro you almost cut off the recording after my sister said she was working, if you had no evil you would have asked if I helped in any way... I will do an interview talking about it, at the best time and I will talk about your attitude to the interviewees and especially to my sister. You don't deserve to have this kind of work with this evil in creating discord and transmitting it to the good people.''
