It appears that Alex Pereira may be at odds with the UFC, according to a recent social media post. The former two-division champion expressed his disappointment in a cryptic tweet, hinting at potential tension with the UFC management. Pereira’s message suggested that he is considering early retirement due to undisclosed information that has left him disheartened.
Despite never speaking negatively about the UFC before, Pereira’s latest comments indicate a shift in his mindset towards the organization. Known for his willingness to step in on short notice for high-profile events, Pereira has been a reliable asset for the UFC. However, his recent loss of the light heavyweight championship to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313 may have been a turning point.
Although a rematch with Ankalaev seemed imminent for UFC 317, Pereira’s tweet raises questions about his future plans. It remains to be seen how this development will impact his relationship with the UFC and his fighting career moving forward.
