Aline Pereira Left Hook KO at Karate Combat
Aline Pereira came from a kickboxing background like her brother and was a one-time title challenger in GLORY. She started her MMA career in 2022 but faced a loss in her debut. Since then, she has one win and two losses, making her current record 1-2. From there, she switched to Karate Combat and made her promotional debut this past weekend.
Originally, the fight was scheduled at 125 pounds, but after Begley struggled with her weight cut, it was changed to a 130-pound catchweight. Even with the change, Begley still missed weight, coming in four pounds over, and was fined 40% of her purse.
In the first round, Pereira landed a perfect left hook. After dropping Begley to the ground, Aline delivered several follow-up punches, leading to a referee stoppage.
