On Wednesday, a cryptic message seemingly shared by Alex Pereira on social media had fight fans holding their breath.
A post on the X account of the former light heavyweight champion stated that he’d “already had thoughts of not fighting anymore” after hearing things that left him “disheartened” with the UFC. No further details were provided, but it was more than enough to cause concern and widespread speculation.
Pereira’s comments immediately instilled panic in UFC fans, but hours later, ‘Poatan’ revealed that his X account had been hacked, ensuring us that the above post was not his doing.
