Food donations in São Paulo
In September 2024, UOL’s Ag. Fight reported that Pereira gave 1,100 basic-food baskets to families in São Paulo. In January 2026, he donated 2,600 baskets at Favela do Coral, according to a later Ag. Fight report.
Support after Brazil’s floods
In May 2024, Pereira said he donated $100,000 worth of food to people affected by flooding in southern Brazil and planned another $20,000 contribution, MMA Junkie reported. The donations connect his public profile to needs he has described from his own childhood, and show how his community work has extended across multiple years.
Pereira is scheduled to face Sergei Pavlovich in his second heavyweight bout on December 12, 2026, according to the official fight announcement.
