Alex Pereira says he wasn't hacked when he had that memorable fight with the UFC. Earlier this year, Pereira made news when he hinted at retiring after reports that he might not get a shot at the light heavyweight title in favor of Jiri Prochazka. "Poatan" promptly took back what he said, saying he had been hacked, but Pereira told Ariel Helwani the truth on Wednesday. Plinio Cruz, Pereira's coach and interpreter, said, "A little bit was miscommunication, because Alex found out through social media and stuff like that." "So he was angry, which is why he sent the [Tweet], but he wished he hadn't. He was wrong since he didn't know what was going on or what people were talking about. It was a bit of a mix-up between the camp, the manager, and the UFC. "It's not the UFC's fault."
