It doesn’t seem likely that Alex Pereira will fight on the UFC 310 card.

The UFC is now without a headliner for its year-end pay-per-view event. The card was supposed to feature welterweight champion Belal Muhammad putting his gold on the line against Shavkat Rakhmonov due to a bone infection in his leg.

Rumors started circulating on social media claiming that the UFC had reached out to “Poatan” to save the day once again. As it turns out, those rumors aren’t true.

SHAVKAT RAKHMONOV REACTS TO CANCELLATION OF UFC 310, INTERIM TITLE CLAIM

During The show “The boys in the back”.Ariel Helwani addressed the buzz by claiming that Alex Pereira Vs. Magomed Ankalaev was offered as a late replacement for the main event of UFC 310. Pereira’s team notified Helwani that he has not been offered the fight at this time.

Moreover, the team says that the “Poatan” is already booked for several trips that it plans to perform.

It’s another rumor dispelled, although very few fans would have been surprised if Pereira stepped in again on short notice. “Poatan” has stepped up for the UFC throughout 2024, and if anyone deserves some time away from the Octagon, it’s him.
