Alexsandro Pereira (born July 7, 1987), commonly known as Alex Pereira or sometimes Alex Sandro is a Brazilian kickboxer who competes in the middleweight division. He turned to kickboxing after giving up a career as a boxer. Pereira came to prominence when he became a WAKO Pro Panamerican champion in 2013. He has competed in promotions such as the SUPERKOMBAT Fighting Championship, It's Showtime and Jungle Fight (MMA). He is the current champion of WGP Kickboxing at Cruiserweight (85.1kg) and of Glory Kickboxing at Middleweight (85kg).

As of 1 September 2018, he is ranked the #1 middleweight in the world by Combat Press.[1]

Career

He won the Glory 14: Zagreb - Middleweight Contender Tournament in Zagreb, Croatia on March 8, 2014, beating Dustin Jacoby by first round knockout in the semi-finals and Sahak Parparyan by majority decision in the final.[2][3]

It was announced during the Glory 15: Istanbul broadcast that Pereira would be one of eight fighters competing in the Glory 17: Los Angeles - Last Man Standing middleweight tournament in Inglewood, California, United States on June 21, 2014.[4][5] He lost to eventual champion Artem Levin by unanimous decision in the quarter-finals to exit the tournament.[6][7][8]
