Another Pereira is headed to the UFC.

In a video released on Instagram, Alice Pereira had quite the Christmas present from UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard.

The 19-year-old Pereira, who is not related to UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, has reeled off six straight wins to begin her pro career with four first-round finishes.

The bantamweight last competed at Cage Masters FC 2 on Dec. 14 and earned a unanimous decision victory over Samara Santos. After her latest wins, she made a plea to Maynard and the UFC to sign her and it worked.
