Dana White and Daniel Cormier refute Alex Pereira's conspiracy claims

Dana White and Daniel Cormier denied allegations made by Alex Pereira regarding manipulation behind the booking of the UFC 334 fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit. Pereira accused the UFC of using influencers like Cormier to shape public opinion on the fight. During a post-fight press conference, White labeled Pereira's claims as paranoid and stated he never directs commentators on what to say. Cormier echoed this by clarifying he was not instructed by UFC management to promote any specific narratives. Pereira, who has expressed frustration over not receiving a rematch following his fight with Gane, faces another challenge as he is scheduled to fight at UFC 335.
