New approach and surprise on social media
According to the athlete, the man – supposedly from Ukraine – approached her and her team at the fighters’ hotel in Las Vegas once again the following day. After receiving a letter and gifts, Amanda managed to locate the ‘stalker’s’ social media and got an even bigger surprise.
“The other day, when we arrived at the reception again, the guy was waiting. But he said he wanted to talk to me, and I said it wasn’t possible at the moment. He spoke to my father, handed over a letter, a bracelet and a teddy bear. So far, everything is normal, because it’s something that happens. I actually like it, I love receiving gifts. Then I read in the letter that he was in love with me as a man since 2020, that he met me in Abu Dhabi. This guy, on his social network, it was written that I was his wife, that he lived in this country and was going to move to Varginha… There was a photo of a teddy bear, everyone in my family, saying ‘this is Marcelo, this one. It’s Arthur, this is Mirelly, this is Amanda, my wife’. There were some really crazy things”, he reported.

The situation became even more worrying when the individual managed to invade the UFC PI (Performance Institute) while Amanda was training there. Upon becoming aware of what happened, Ultimate provided a security guard to accompany the girl from Minas Gerais and ensure her protection against a possible incident caused by the stalker.
“The other day, this citizen managed to get into PI, I don’t know how, and he was telling people that I was his wife (laughs). Alex (Davis, businessman) found out about it first, and then he told me. Then He informed the UFC and they left a security guard with me 24 hours a day, to be more protected. It seems that they discovered that he is a fighter, and he couldn’t fight at an event because he had taken a sword (laughs)”, recalled the fighter. Brazilian.
