"Bro is a millionaire," "Not his responsibility" - Fans divided over Alex Pereira's sister Aline still working for Amazon despite his UFC success

Alex Pereira’s sister recently revealed that, while building her career in combat sports, she continues to balance a part-time job to support herself. Aline Pereira is a skilled kickboxer currently signed with Karate Combat. She has also explored the world of professional MMA, where she posted a 1-2 record in the LFA promotion.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Pereira revealed that, in addition to her fight career, she works as an Amazon delivery driver to support her loved ones, working through the night so she can focus on her training during the day:

"I do deliveries for Amazon, and we do what we have to do. This routine is very tiresome because we still have to accommodate the training hours and the job, but it all works out in the end… It’s not easy. We do deliveries for four and a half hours."

Aline's remarks ignited a lively discussion among MMA fans. Some questioned why she still feels the need to work a part-time job, considering her brother's immense success as a UFC champion. Meanwhile, others argued that the 34-year-old Brazilian should be free to live her life on her own terms.

One fan wrote:

"This is wild, man. Alex can make more than her yearly salary just off one fight bonus. Why isn't he holding down his sister? Bro is a millionaire."

Another wrote:

"Not his responsibility."

Another commented:

"Because some cultures find it distasteful to mooch off their family... wild, right?
