Result Summary

Smilla Sundell def. Aline Pereira Decision (unanimous) · R3 5:00

Smilla Sundell defeated Aline Pereira by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a women's bantamweight bout at Dana White's Contender Series Season 10, Week 10 in Las Vegas on October 13, 2026. Sundell controlled all three rounds by pressing forward and consistently landing kicks and knees, keeping Pereira on the defensive for long stretches. Pereira had her best moments in the second round but could not take the lead, and each judge scored every round for Sundell. The decisive exchange of the third round came when Pereira secured a late takedown, only for Sundell to regain her feet quickly and immediately land a sharp knee to close the fight on her terms. Sundell, who transitioned from a decorated Muay Thai career to MMA in early 2026, improves to 3-0; Pereira, sister of UFC champion Alex Pereira, falls to 3-3.

Fight Overview

Aline Pereira (3-2) faces Smilla Sundell (2-0) in a women's bantamweight DWCS bout between two fighters who made their names in striking sports. Sundell is a former ONE Championship Muay Thai titleholder who became the youngest champion in ONE history at just 17; at 21 she has limited MMA experience but an elite Muay Thai base. Pereira, 36, is the younger sister of former UFC champion Alex Pereira and a former kickboxer herself. She arrives on two straight decision wins, and all five of her MMA fights have gone the distance.

Keys to Victory

Aline Pereira

  1. Use her experience over 15 minutes: all five of her MMA fights have gone the full three rounds, while Sundell has just two pro bouts.
  2. Mix in clinch work and takedown attempts so the fight is not a pure Muay Thai contest against a former world champion.
  3. Show urgency. Three decision wins will not be enough on their own; Dana White hands contracts to fighters who push for a finish.

Smilla Sundell

  1. Establish her elite Muay Thai tools — teep, long guard, elbows — to keep Pereira at range and score with clean, hard strikes.
  2. Use her two-fight MMA winning streak's momentum to stay aggressive and show Dana White the finishing instincts he demands for a contract.
  3. Set a pace a 36-year-old opponent struggles to match and look to become the first to stop Pereira in MMA.
