She slid, he slid, who slid?

UFC fights always could welcome a little back story, and Welterweight Michael Pereira is already thinking about his next fight. Pereira won a split decision n Saturday at UFC Vegas 55 over Santiago Ponzinibbio. Following the fight Pereira spoke about his next potential opponent.

Ideall Pereira would like to fight Nate Diaz, but he also has another target on his plate. Pereira would like to fight Jorge Masvidal because he’s not too happy with Masvidal sliding into his wife’s DM’s.

Pereira wants to settle things with Masvidal with a fight. A little juice to stir the pot.

Watch below:

Masvidal wasn’t buying it, and returned fire with some receipts in hand. Masvidal shared a screenshot that shows Pereira’s wife was actually the one who slid into his DM’s.

Who really knows who was DM’ing who first, or if the DM’s were legit, or just a ploy to create buzz for a fight. These UFC guys will do just about anything for a paycheck, even it it means telling your wife to slide into an opponent’s DM’s.
