Aline Pereira, sister of former UFC two-division champion Alex Pereira, loses on Dana White’s Contender Series and does not secure a UFC contract. She faces Smilla Sundell at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.
All reports say the bout ends with Sundell winning a decision. BBC Sport and the other outlets describe it as a setback for Pereira after her performance on the show. NDTV reports a unanimous decision in Sundell’s favor with scorecards reading 29-28 across the judging, while Yahoo Sports also notes Sundell earns the UFC deal at Week 10 of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10.
While outlets emphasize different framing—some focusing on Pereira’s missed opportunity and others on Sundell’s deal despite uncertainties—there is agreement on the result: Sundell defeats Pereira and receives a contract. The story centers on the Contender Series’ role as a pathway to the UFC for fighters performing on the event.
