Alex Pereira

Alex Pereira (born July 7, 1987, in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian screen presence best known for appearing as himself across major combat-sports broadcasts. While credited for acting, Pereira’s on-screen identity is rooted in his rise as an elite mixed martial artist and former kickboxing world champion, now competing in the UFC’s Light Heavyweight division.

Before international fame, Pereira’s working life began far from arenas and cameras. He took on hands-on jobs, including assisting in construction and working at a tire shop, experiences that shaped the discipline and grit later associated with his fighting career. That journey—from manual labor to global spotlight—has become a defining part of his public story.

Pereira’s filmography reflects his status as a modern sports headliner, with notable credits such as UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2, UFC 268: Usman vs. Covington 2, UFC Fight Night 203: Santos vs. Ankalaev, and UFC 295: Prochazka vs. Pereira, along with the behind-the-scenes special UFC 291 Countdown.

Whether featured in marquee pay-per-views or promotional programming, Alex Pereira continues to translate championship pedigree into compelling on-screen moments for fight fans worldwide.
