Alex Pereira is at the top of the UFC light heavyweight division but recently all the news surrounding the UFC champion is around his dating life. Fans have speculated that the Brazilian MMA athlete has broken up with his girlfriend, Merle. There was no official announcement from the couple, however, Merle has broken her silence on the issue on her Instagram account.
In a recent Q&A on her Instagram account, Merle reshared a message from one of her followers. The message read: “Stay strong with the trolls on the internet. I’m a big fan. See you on YouTube.” Merle reshared the message and posted three emoticons of three different monkeys covering their eyes, ears, and mouths.
The message and the response points to her current situation. The fan base of Alex Pereira might be trolling her since her split with the UFC champion, which prompted her to reshare this message. The emoticons might be her way of conveying to her fans that she is staying clear of any negative energy by not paying attention to it.
Fans also noticed that the media presenter has been sharing motivational posts about self-clarity and anger management since the rumors about the split started. Many fans have expressed their opinion on social media that these posts about anger management can be taken as a slight jab at Pereira.
