Henry Cejudo: Alex Pereira has 'skipped lines long enough'

Alex Pereira’s feud with UFC commentator Daniel Cormier escalated after Pereira accused the organization of manipulating fan sentiment to push a specific heavyweight bout. Pereira claimed UFC executives used Cormier to promote a Ciryl Gane vs.

Josh Hokit matchup, allegedly sidelining his own rematch against Gane. The controversy has drawn sharp responses from Dana White, who dismissed Pereira’s claims outright, stating he never directs commentators’ commentary.

Meanwhile, Pereira’s sister, Aline, missed out on a UFC contract following a loss in Dana White’s Contender Series, adding to the family’s recent struggles within the promotion.
