Magomedov is scheduled to fight Pereira in a middleweight tilt at UFC Baku on Saturday at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan. Magomedov recently went off on Pereira for supporting Israel. Pereira walked out with the Israeli flag for his first-round knockout win over Andre Petroski in 2023.

“Shara Bullet” condemns Pereira’s support of Israel in the ongoing crisis with Palestine. Magomedov also notes that Pereira rescued dogs from a flood in Brazil soon after showing his support for Israel. Magomedov believes Pereira was only pulling off a publicity stunt by rescuing dogs in Brazil. Magomedov also jokes that “Demolidor” was missed during the floods in Dagestan this past April.
‘Farming Likes on Instagram’
“In my eyes, he’s a hypocrite,” Magomedov told Red Corner MMA. “To raise the flag of Israel after the fight [the state] that, in front of billions of people, committed genocide against Gaza, against kids and women. And at the very moment when the whole world condemned it, he raised the flag of Israel. Then he went to Brazil to rescue dogs from a flood. Honestly, if he only really cared about dogs, it would have been a different story. But he is just farming likes on Instagram. By rescuing dogs, he’s just chasing Instagram hype and likes. Do you know what his most popular video on Instagram is? Where he’s saving dogs. The dog savior. We really missed him in Dagestan when the flood happened.”
Pereira (32-14) had justified carrying the Israeli flag, saying that he has many Israeli friends and he was triggered after watching some videos of “children.” The Brazilian is coming off an upset win over Zachary Reese that saw him rebound from a three-fight slump. Meanwhile, Magomedov (16-1) is coming off a win over Marc-Andre Barriault that saw him rebound from his lone professional loss against Michael Page.
