Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira trade on social media since they fought.
In March the light heavyweight title changed owner when Ankalaev Pereira defeated by decision on UFC 313.
Dana White immediately spoke a rematch, but there has been no official announcement about it.
On Wednesday, fans were afraid that something very bad had gone behind the scenes between the UFC and Alex Pereira because the Brazilian Ko artist retired on X on X.

Magomed Anklaev takes the honor for Alex Pereira Hack
Shortly thereafter, Pereira suppressed the fear of UFC pension by posting a video that responded to the tweet.
The former two-way champion claimed that he had been the victim of a social media hacker.
“I didn't even know about it, I was hacked,” he said in a since then removed Instagram video.
“It has been a while since I posted something, you see. But I have been hacked and I will solve it. I don't even know what's going on. I have a great relationship with UFC. People like to do bad things. That's that. Chama.”
Ankalaev got jokes for the hack task when he placed a reaction to Pereira's controversial tweet.
“It was me. I hacked his account, don't worry, Alex. I am waiting for you,” he wrote.
What does the hacker tweet?
Pereira's X account sent the MMA world in Meltdown with a single tweet.
It has broadcast a clear problem between the UFC and its biggest star, who threatened to retire.
“I have always answered the calls of the UFC, but if they want to play with me, we can do that,” wrote the hacker.
“I have never spoken badly about the UFC, but with what I have just heard, I am discouraged.
“I have already had thoughts not to fight anymore, and after what had just been passed on to me, this can be the beginning.”
Fortunately, the situation was quickly clarified and fans can continue to look forward to the UFC referee of Pereira.
It seems to be just a matter of time before a date and location for the Ankalaev -Rematch is announced.
