[Watch] Alex Pereira seemingly trolls ex-girlfriend with funny skit as she is black listed from Karate Combat event

Karate Combat 56 stirred online drama when Merle Christine, ex-girlfriend of former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, revealed she had been blacklisted as a visitor at the event. Pereira was in attendance, cornering his sister Aline’s title fight.

Aline defeated Fani Peloumpi to capture the Karate Combat women’s flyweight championship. Pereira later posted a mocking Instagram reel where event security jokingly tried to remove him.

Several fans drew the connection between Pereira's timing of the post and Christine being allegedly kicked out. They believe it was a potential jab at his ex’s claim about being blacklisted

Check out the video below:

Several users on X posted a recording of Christine's Instagram story since she has kept her account private. The post reportedly read:

"How obsessed are you to black list someone just because she’s at the same event like you? And how unprofessional is KARATE COMBAT to black list a woman who is just watching the fight of her friend."

The drama stems from the pair’s messy split after Pereira claimed Christine was married during their relationship, which she denied. Tension escalated when Christine publicly celebrated Pereira’s UFC 313 loss to Magomed Ankalaev, calling it "karma."
