UFC superstar Alex Pereira has been hacked. On Wednesday afternoon, UFC fans were alarmed when Pereira’s Twitter account posted a message threatening to retire after failed negotiations with the UFC.

“I always answered the UFC’s calls, but if they want to play with me, we can do that. I’ve never spoken poorly of the UFC, but with what I’ve just heard, I’m disheartened.

“I’ve already had thoughts of not fighting anymore, and after what was just relayed to me this may be the start.”

MMA fans immediately began freaking out on social media.

Hours after the message went viral, Pereira shared a video message claiming he was hacked and that his relationship with the UFC is fine.

“I’ve received a ton of messages, getting messages from everyone, who saw a post from Twitter, I didn’t even know about it, I was hacked because it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, you guys see, but I was hacked and I’ll resolve it. I don’t even know what’s going on. I have a great relationship with the UFC. People like to do bad things.”

Thankfully, Pereira is still with the UFC and will participate in a meet and greet with fans this weekend.
