This is not the first time they've been sighted together. Previously, they were seen working out together at a commercial gym, performing hip thrusts, toe touches, deadlifts, and bench presses.

The pair's recent attendance at Karate Combat 44 suggests a deeper connection than just training. The two came together sometime after Pereira's separation from his previous girlfriend. However, it's unclear if he and Viana are dating at this time.

Although both fighters are Brazilian, Pereira moved to Teixeira MMA and Fitness in Connecticut to train with Glover Teixeira. Up until now, Viana has trained mostly in Rio de Janeiro with the TATA Fight Team, but in more recent times, she has been spotted working with Pereira and Teixeira.

Viana is coming off a second-round TKO loss against Gillian Robertson in the preliminary card of UFC 297.

Meanwhile, Alex Pereira captured the vacant light heavyweight title by beating former champion Jiri Prochazka via second-round TKO at UFC 295.

Demetrious Johnson previews Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill fight

Alex Pereira is getting ready for the UFC 300, where he will defend his 205-pound title against former light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill. The much-anticipated event is set to take place on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meanwhile, Hill is motivated to regain his title that he never lost.

In a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel, former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson shared his thoughts on the UFC 300 main event. He said:

''I know Jamal is going to try to knock him out because he said he was going to do it. Can he do it? absolutely, because they're both big men and they both hit extremely hard. But he's got to make sure, if he's going to do it, he's got to make sure he doesn't get drop as well.''
