Things are getting heated between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev.
With their highly anticipated light heavyweight title tilt mere hours away, Ankalaev is doing whatever he can to get under Pereira’s skin. Recently, the top-ranked Dagestani star took to social media and suggested that Pereira’s regular appearance at UFC events is all a ploy to score free booze.
“He go to all UFC fight to get free alcohol and get camera time,” a tweet from Ankalaev wrote on X. “I’ve been training so hard March 8 alcohol not help you.”

‘Poatan’ took exception to Ankalaev’s comment.
