In a little over three years, Alex Pereira has achieved things that most UFC fighters only dream of. In order to accomplish these goals, Pereira has had a dedicated team behind him supporting him. One member of his team is someone Alex Pereira is often linked with. While ‘Poatan’ has denied any relationship rumors with Polyana Viana, a recent picture of the two prior to UFC 300 has fans believing otherwise.
A picture posted by ‘Spinnin Backfist’ on Twitter has caused an uproar among fans. In the picture, UFC strawweight Polyana Viana and Alex Pereira are seen together before he steps into the octagon to face Jamahal Hill. The caption on the post said, “MMA’s #1 couple.”. Needless to say, fans had some interesting things to add while reacting to this post, with some referring to Viana’s alleged relationship with Colby Covington as well:

Polyana Viana has been linked to the likes of Colby Covington and Alex Pereira in the UFC. However, is there any truth to these rumors?
Polyana Viana dating Alex Pereira or Colby Covington?
Polyana Viana and Alex Pereira are training partners and good friends. Viana is often seen sparring with Pereira’s sons and being there as a friend for Pereira supporting him during the biggest fights of his career. There is no confirmation that the relationship between the two is anything more than a platonic one at this point in time.
Polyana Viana relembrou suposta relação íntima com Colby Covington. “Ele queria que eu colocasse um dedo na bunda dele, mas eu não queria. Ele ficou chateado”, disse a brasileira, 18 meses após Colby expor que recusou uma luta de última hora porque estava se divertindo com ela. pic.twitter.com/4FLgSgK3X5

On the flip side, Viana and Covington appear to have had a relationship. Both individuals have on multiple occasions made NSFW claims about each other. There is no information on how long this relationship lasted. However, it doesn’t seem like Covington and Vianna have any kind of relationship with each other now.
