Dana White and Daniel Cormier Address Alex Pereira’s Booking Conspiracy Claims

Alex Pereira recently alleged that the UFC influenced figures like Daniel Cormier to build fan support for the upcoming Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit fight at UFC 334. Pereira, who sought a rematch against Gane following a previous loss, suggested that external pressure was used to secure the matchup.

Dana White dismissed the claims during a post-fight press conference, stating that the promotion does not direct what commentators say. Cormier also rejected the accusation on his YouTube channel, describing the situation as a likely miscommunication. While Pereira did not receive his requested rematch, he is currently scheduled to compete at UFC 335.
