There appears to be an issue for former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, just not the one that many thought on Wednesday. Pereira’s X account, formerly Twitter, posted about his frustrations with UFC and that he’s considering retirement, but Pereira posted a video on social media shortly after claiming he was hacked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I always answered the UFC’s calls, but if they want to play with me, we can do that,” Pereira’s account\u00a0wrote<\/a>. “I’ve never spoken poorly of the UFC, but with what I’ve just heard, I’m disheartened.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I’ve already had thoughts of not fighting anymore, and after what was just relayed to me, this may be the start.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n UFC 315: Jack Della Maddalena refutes Ian Machado Garry’s prediction for Belal Muhammad fight<\/p>\n \n Shakiel Mahjouri <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “I’ve received a ton of messages from everyone who saw a post on my Twitter. I didn’t even know about it, I was hacked,” Pereira said through a translation<\/a>. “It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, you guys see, but I was hacked and I’ll resolve it. I don’t even know what’s going on. I have a great relationship with UFC. People like to do bad things, that’s that.”<\/p>\n To Pereira’s point, his last post on X was on April 24 and before that was April 11. The post has remained up for over two hours as of publication of this story.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fans await his next move after losing the UFC light heavyweight title<\/a> to Magomed Ankalaev in March.<\/p>\n![\"UFC](\"https:\/\/sportshub.cbsistatic.com\/i\/2025\/05\/07\/23a8b1ef-1317-485b-869b-5ee095bb4ece\/jack-della-maddalena.jpg\")
