In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through the UFC community, former light heavyweight title challenger Magomed Ankalaev has emerged from a self-imposed silence to level explosive doping accusations against newly crowned champion Alex Pereira. Just hours after Pereira’s dominant 80-second TKO victory over Ankalaev at UFC 320 on Saturday night, the Russian grappler took to social media with what he claims is irrefutable evidence of performance-enhancing drug use by the Brazilian knockout artist.

The evidence, according to Ankalaev, was obtained through a whistleblower within the UFC’s anti-doping program, which was reinstated under USADA’s oversight after a controversial hiatus. “They buried it because he’s their golden boy,” Ankalaev alleged, referencing Pereira’s status as one of the promotion’s biggest draws. He also displayed grainy photos of Pereira allegedly receiving
