Dana White Defends Alex Pereira, Praises His Always-Ready Mentality

Earlier, Ankalaev claimed, “I was offered to fight Alex during International Fight Week. The man doesn’t want it.” White, dismissing the UFC 317 denial, said, “This guy never turns down fights—injured, on vacation, he doesn’t give a sh*t.” Pereira lost his light heavyweight belt at UFC 313 but looks to avenge it on October 4 when he faces Ankalaev again in UFC 320’s main event.
