Dana White Denies Influencing Commentators Following Alex Pereira's Allegations

Alex Pereira recently alleged that the UFC instructed influencers, including Daniel Cormier, to manipulate fan support for the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit. Pereira, who previously lost an interim heavyweight title bout to Gane, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction and claims regarding the match.

In response to the accusations, White dismissed the claims as untrue during a press gathering following the Contender Series. He stated that the promotion does not direct what commentators or fighters say, describing such claims as paranoid. White emphasized that the organization does not police commentary, noting that if they did, athletes like Sean Strickland would not remain on the roster.
