Alex Pereira, the UFC light heavyweight champion, responds to Magomed Ankalaev's taunt regarding his attendance at UFC events. Ankalaev accused Pereira of going for 'free alcohol'. Pereira dismisses most of Ankalaev's remarks but highlights the insensitivity of referencing alcohol addiction, especially concerning fans who struggle with similar issues. Pereira, motivated by a past taunt from Israel Adesanya, has overcome significant challenges to rise in the UFC, setting the stage for retaliation against Ankalaev at UFC 313 if he can't follow through with his trash talk.
I don't even pay attention to what he says, the thing he said most about was the alcohol. I don't have that feeling just for me, because I know the pain of the people. He is playing with the feelings of the fans, feelings of the people who go through that.
If he isn't able to do what he said, he will have consequences with that. I don't pay attention to that.
