“Colby Covington Punching Air”: Alex Pereira Pictured With UFC 297 Star Polyana Viana Fuel Relationship Speculation Among Fans

The UFC light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, has become the topic of discussion due to his ongoing drama with his ex-girlfriend, Merle. Both parties are accusing and taking shots at each other one after the other. Amidst all the drama, Pereira is under the spotlight for a recent picture with Polyana Viana, who recently lost at UFC 297. Subsequently, the picture of them ignited speculation about their relationship on X. Not only them, but fans mocking them have also dragged Colby Covington into the conversation.

Meanwhile, it seems the two Brazilians have become really good friends as just before the event, they posed for a picture together for the second time in two days. Given Pereira’s recent breakup, fans on the internet, who often quickly speculate about relationships, once again did the same, suggesting that the LHW champion has found his UFC roster mate and poked fun at them. Here are the reactions:

Given the fact that Covington and Viana have a dating history, one fan jokingly commented, “Chaos” will be furious right now.

One curious user asked did Covington and Viana break up.

Meanwhile, a fan commented that Viana will surely make Merle jealous.

One fan argued that Pereira, instead of Viana, should date Mayra Bueno Silva.

Fans seem convinced that Viana and Pereira are dating, and some took the opportunity to mock Colby Covington, who had claimed to be involved with the Brazilian Strawweight previously. However, Viana dismissed those rumors. It will be interesting to see if Viana addresses the recent rumors as she did last time. Currently, Pereira is engaged in an ongoing drama with Merle.
