Alex Pereira has little respect for Magomed Ankalaev ahead of their UFC 320 main event. Pereira's sentiment stems from a recent visit to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, where he claims Ankalaev physically hid from him.
Pereira and Ankalaev are preparing for their rematch on Oct. 4. That preparation recently brought them to the UFC PI. On Tuesday, Pereira uploaded a video detailing his time there. "Poatan" claims he saw Ankalaev's coach, but the UFC light heavyweight champion was absent. Only later was Pereira informed that Ankalaev had allegedly hid from him.
"Something funny happened just now when I was leaving the PI. I saw Ankalaev's coach there. I stayed myself, I didn't see Ankalaev there," Pereira said, according to transcriptions from Championship Rounds . "..
