Alex Pereira had quite a meltdown with the UFC in a recent post on X. Showing significant anger, Pereira posted about hanging up his gloves once and for all. However, just when the UFC realm was going berserk, ‘Poatan’ came in and debunked his post by terming the fiasco as hacking. But that might not be the case after all. According to UFC veteran Daniel Cormier, Pereira might be lying!
In a recent episode of the ‘Good Guy Bad Guy’ podcast, DC shed light on the matter. Cormier opined that Pereira’s account might not have been hacked. He opined that Hunter Campbell might have proposed to Magomed Ankalaev for a match at the International Fight Week. While the champion accepted, Pereira might have declined. The next thing Pereira knew was that the fight was offered to somebody else. And this is where he got angry.
“Pereira is a liar. Pereira did not get hacked. Pereira might have tweeted something and then somebody called him like, ‘Yo, calm down, let’s chill.’ I don’t believe the hacked thing, bro. It was too specific,” Cormier stated.
