Alex Pereira fired back at Magomed Ankalaev ’s coach for accusing him of greasing at UFC 313. Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) lost his light heavyweight title to Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in their main event earlier this month at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In an interview with Ushatayka , Ankalaev’s coach Sukhrab Magomedov accused Pereira of being sticky and having ointment on his body to help him defend takedowns. He even claimed that Pereira’s mentor Glover Teixeira was known to grease. Pereira stuffed all 12 of Ankalaev’s takedowns, but denies trying to gain an unfair advantage.
