The majority of them loved the Brazilian's fiery response to the individual.Pereira made his octagon return this past Saturday to challenge Magomed Ankalaev for the light heavyweight gold in a rematch at UFC 320.

People do not realize how much negativity he brings in so many ways in so many areas! Guy is amazing in a horrible way. Caught with him this time''''As an Alex fan, I was really mad at Ank because of those mean tweets about alcohol and Poatan going back to the tire shop. Without those tweets, most people probably wouldn’t even hate on him, since his fights are actually exciting.''Fan reactions [Screenshots courtesy: @ChampRDS on X]Alex Pereira aims for superfight with an MMA legendPrior to his light heavyweight rematch against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, Alex Pereira hinted at a potential move to the heavyweight weight class.Following his impressive victory, Pereira spoke to reporters at the post-fight press conference and voiced his desire to face former two-division champion Jon Jones at the UFC White House card next year:''Thanks for congratulating me, but all I want is a superfight, I want to fight at heavyweight.
