19-year-old Brazilian bantamweight Alice Pereira, also known as "Golden Girl," is a hair away from UFC history. With an unbeaten 6-0 professional record, a string of early stoppages, and an official UFC contract signed just days after her 19th birthday, she is set to become the youngest female fighter to compete in the Octagon when she faces Montserrat Rendon at Noche UFC in San Antonio. Her ascent through the ranks has garnered attention throughout the MMA world, and it represents not only talent but youth and the future of women in the sport as well.
Alice Pereira’s rise to becoming UFC’s youngest female fighter
Alice Pereira was born and raised in Bahia, Brazil, where she has been involved in combat sports from a young age. She is 6-0 with 4 knockouts and 1 submission, almost all of which have occurred in the first round. In December 2024, she secured the Cage Masters FC bantamweight title and gained notoriety with promoters after her dominant performances in a number of regional shows.
After winning that belt, Alice Pereira wasted no time in hitting up UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard for a deal. Dana White formally announced her signing with the UFC just four days after her 19th birthday, making her one of the youngest female talents to ever sign with the organization. Pereira also differs due to her fight style with striking power, a high finish rate and good poise under duress. Her UFC debut is one of the most eagerly awaited fights of the year.

Alice Pereira currently has a low net worth due to being so early on in her UFC career. She is believed to have less than USD $100,000 in the bank, made mainly from regional fight purses, small sponsorships, and early fight performance bonuses.
Alice’s UFC contract is expected to significantly increase her earnings in the next few years (assuming continued wins and performance bonuses and endorsements). She is one of the most hyped young prospects and has a lot of potential to create multiple streams of income when she has some UFC fights under her belt. But as of now, there are actually no confirmed external body figures regarding her UFC debut fight purse or her complete sponsorship arrangement
