Fresh off avenging his loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, Alex Pereira has swapped the Octagon for business. The 38-year-old champion is currently in Milan with his Aviator mate Nina Drama, aka Nina Marie Daniele. The two are enjoying their perks of being Aviator partners, which is an online crash game developed by SPRIBE. But during a casual dinner, things got a little… expensive.

SPRIBE founder David Natro dropped by with a surprise. Natro presented him with a Jacob & Co. Epic X Bridges Rose Gold watch—complete with a bold green strap and a price tag of $80,300. Bringing out the prankster in him, Pereira extended the box to Daniele… after taking out the actual gift. Seeing the empty box and a brand new watch in the fighter’s hand, the content creator was clearly jealous, even if just for the content.
But then came her surprise!
Turns out, Natro hadn’t forgotten Daniele’s earlier ‘Rolex request’ from Brazil. He pulled out a Rolex Lady-Datejust 279175-0017 Mother-of-Pearl Dial President Everose Gold, worth a cool $40,000 for her. Daniele later shared a clip of the dinner on Instagram, writing, “This surprise was CHAMA! Thank you @aviator.spribe @spribe.co @davidnatro1 @tsutskiridzeg for the amazing surprise.”
The post quickly caught Merab Dvalishvili’s eye, who couldn’t resist jumping into the comments, saying, “Nice gifts and congrats guys! But my car is better lol.” Daniele playfully replied, “You deserve it Champ.”
Apparently, this whole thing started when Periera went on a nostalgic trip. The 38-year-old champion returned to his roots in São Paulo, Brazil, in early October, joined by his longtime coach Plinio Cruz and Daniele. His mission was to show the latter where the Poatan was once just Alex.
But Drama had a surprise request from Pereira.
When he took the content creator to his Institute Poatan, Daniele tried to teach the champ a few English phrases after his confession that learning the language was challenging for him. But amid the emotional trip, Daniele turned the tables. She made him read, “I will buy Nina one Rolex.”
Of course, he didn’t fulfill the demand right away. However, SPRIBE didn’t miss their chance to impress both Daniele and Periera.
But why was Dvalishvili so excited? Well, he, too, had his wish granted by SPRIBE some time ago.

Back in October, Daniele towed away Dvalishvili’s car. But it wasn’t just a prank. When the content creator took the fighter to an empty plot, he was greeted by people from Aviator. The interesting and attention-grabbing thing, though, was a huge black box behind everyone. When the Georgian opened it, he found a brand new Mercedes G Wagon waiting for him.
To be honest, we see why the 34-year-old fighter believes he got a better present on defending his title.
While Pereira missed out on the Rolex this time, he’s hardly short on shine—he got his own not too long ago.
Pereira added $16,000+ Rolex to his collection
Back in March 2025, the Brazilian fighter was seen purchasing a Rolex Submariner Date in the striking green ceramic variant, valued at over $16,000. The purchase was made from Moses, a well-known New York-based jeweler who caters to several celebrity clients and has become a trusted name for Poatan.
This isn’t Pereira’s first purchase from Moses, though. He previously bought a Richard Mille watch from the same jeweler, which stirred quite a buzz among fans. Pereira’s lavish lifestyle today is a testament to his remarkable journey—from working in a tire shop to becoming one of the most dominant and marketable names in combat sports.
It appears Alex Pereira ended up fulfilling his promise to Nina Marie Daniele, even though he might not have bought the watch himself. What did you think about the watches?
