Pereira expressed his disappointment on social media, stating that he has always been responsive to the UFC's requests but feels mistreated by the organization.
The Brazilian fighter, who has competed in multiple championship bouts, including a recent loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, and saved several pay-per-view events for the UFC on short notice, did not disclose specific details about the issues but mentioned being disheartened by recent communications from the UFC.
