Daniel Cormier, the former UFC champion in two weight classes, does not believe that Alex Pereira’s social media account was hacked.
“Pereira is a liar. His page wasn’t hacked. Pereira might have written something, and then someone called him and said: ‘Hey, calm down, let’s just cool it.’ I don’t believe that he was hacked. Hunter Campbell was in Dagestan, where he met with Islam Makhachev. Hunter asked: ‘What about you, Magomed, are you free?’ Ankalaev said: ‘I could fight.’ Then he turned to Pereira: ‘Alex, are you free?’ To which he replied: ‘Well, I have little time to prepare.’ Then Hunter said: ‘Okay, Alex, we will give this title fight to someone else,’” Cormier said.
