Rumored Cormier believes Alex Pereira lied about being hacked

[NextGen]

“First off, Pereira’s a liar. Pereira did not get hacked. Pereira might’ve tweeted something, and then somebody called him and was like, ‘Yo, calm down. Let’s chill.’ I don’t believe the hack thing, bro. It’s too convenient. It was too specific. I’m saying it publicly.

So my thought is while Hunter was there to meet Islam, guess who else Rizvan Magomedov manages? He also manages Ankalaev ... While he’s in Dagastan, he’s speaking to Islam about the fight... he goes, ‘What about you Ankalaev? Are you available?’ Ankalaev is like, ‘OK, I can fight,’ and then you go to Pereira and go, ‘Pereira, are you available?’ And Alex is like, ‘Well it’s a short time to get ready.’ ‘OK, Alex, we’re going to give somebody else this title fight.’

Then Alex gets mad, goes to the internet, puts that up there, gets a call going, ‘Hey man.’ That’s my thought. That’s what happened. So, yes, while Hunter was in Dagestan, I think it was a two-for-one call. ... I think he spoke to Magomed and he spoke to Islam.

I don’t know this as fact, but I know this game enough to put that together and feel pretty confidently to say it on ESPN."

Sounds like a ton of speculation based off nothing.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

I don’t know this as fact - Daniel Cormier

 

[Luthien]

I wouldn't go so far as to say he lied—more like, everyone knows anyway

The man was upset, posted stuff. And then settled it -.-

It's too bad Fatso isn't in a position to get punched in the fat mouth anymore.

 

[El Fernas]

Yeah, when you hack a celebrity you scam his followers...not post something that sounds like he could post on his own....just saying.

PS: DC is a UFC employee, his opinions will be biased like 100% of the times.

DC giving his take and sounds like anyone with common sense. Alex really thought we were all stupid enough to think he was hacked and the hacker had a statement about the UFC to say, instead of pushing a fishy scam that hackers actually do. Alex has done too much in a short period to turn around and be disrespected by the UFC!!!

Honestly surprised Daniel would say a take that would make UFC brass look slimy, shady, and exploitative.

 

[rosseposse]

Sounds like he struck a nerve

[VAfan]

he's probably right. and better for alex to own up to it and just say hey, i got hot and made a mistake.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Something tells me that’s not DCs personal opinion re Ankalaev.

I’m all for an Ank fight regardless of the opponent.

 

[Dorkman]

I'm not saying DC is 100% right. But if alex was compromised on social media it's an an oddly specific thing to post that other fighters in the past have legitimately posted similar things in an attempt to get leverage over the company. Conor, cejudo, etc. Dosent seem like something an imposter would choose to post. Unless they were being super meta from being in the know of how the game works and meant for it to be perceived this way specifically to cause controversy. But these "hacks" tend to be more simple and derogatory than that. I dunno. Weird scenario either way seeing alex get caught up in some internet drama.

So the UFC seemingly shitting all over Pereira even though he saved their ass throughout the last 24 months you have to go back more than a decade to find a champ with that strength of schedule

 

[Daniel Henry]

Isn't there like a professional courtesy for media members to only speak facts n not speculate on shit..

 

[HHJ]

Jiri vs Uncle Big Ank instead???

 

[gentel]

Remember the time Usman got "hacked" and posted telling his haters to choke or better yet kill themselves? And then he posted a video afterwards saying he'd been up late partying and drinking too much and crashed out as a result

Tbf to him I don't think he ever tried to claim that one was a hack, people were just online assuming it was a hack

Yep, you know someone's in the UFC doghouse when they send their loyal attack-pig DC to squeal at them.

Apparently going above and beyond to keep things in the division and company at large moving just isn't enough these days.

 

[AmonTobin]

It isn't a real hack until you've posted a list of women you think Dana has _____.

 

[method115]

From what happened I can actually believe this. Guess we will never really know unless Alex admits it.
