Former UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira stated that his X account was hacked on Wednesday after a cryptic tweet suggested he was retiring due to tensions with the UFC.
The explanation came after fans raised their eyebrows as Pereira's account suggested friction between him and the organization in an instantly viral post.
"I always answered the UFC’s calls, but if they want to play with me, we can do that. I’ve never spoken poorly of the UFC but with what I’ve just heard I’m disheartened. I’ve already had thoughts of not fighting anymore, and after what was just relayed to me this may be the start.
