Pereira is not interested in a fight with the Russian

UFC bantamweight champion Brazilian Alex Pereira reacted to a challenge from Russian kickboxer Artem Vakhitov.

Earlier, Vakhitov, who met Pereira twice in kickboxing (the score in the confrontation 1-1 - ed.), expressed his readiness to have a third fight in MMA.

"Hey bro, be careful with people who plant ideas like that on you. The person who gave you that advice was trying to beat me and didn't succeed. I'm not stupid. Everyone knows that when you were given the win over me, the Glory league knew it was my last fight in the organization and didn't want me to walk away with the championship belt.

The fact that you're promoting yourself says you're a little confused and you almost certainly don't have a manager. Here's what I think. You should get in touch with Jorge Guimaraes (Pereira's manager - ed.). I think he can help you. In touch," Pereira wrote in the X.
