Alex Pereira has refuted claims made by Magomed Ankalaev’s camp that he was “greasing” during their UFC 313 fight.
In March, Ankalaev won the UFC light-heavyweight title, but Pereira’s coach claimed Pereira had applied oil to his body to make it harder for him to catch him.
In their fight, Pereira, 37, successfully defended every takedown attempt by Ankalaev.
Pereira stated on the Ariel Helwani show, “Absolutely did not put anything on my body.”
“Sounds to me like he’s trying to make an excuse to justify the fact that he trained a man to take me down, but the man stuffed himself on 12 takedowns.
You make up excuses and make up excuses, you go on. If we also put Vaseline on the mat, should you ask the coach?
Is Ankalaev a victim of his own demise? because he was taken down.
Pereira’s five-fight winning streak, which included two titles in two weight classes, was ended by Ankalaev’s defeat in the UFC, which came just after Pereira’s second defeat.
Pereira states that he anticipates facing Ankalaev in a rematch next.
Ankalaev, 32, claimed on social media that the rematch had already been scheduled for August.
Although “there is no contract agreement,” Pereira said, “August is a good date.”
Israel claimed to have struck Hezbollah operatives, killing at least four people, according to Lebanon’s ministry of public health, in two separate Israeli strikes in south Lebanon.
Despite a more than a year of hostilities, including two months of open war, Israel and Hezbollah’s recent deadly attacks on Thursday were the latest in a line of deadly attacks in south Lebanon.
Three people died in Yohmor al-Shaqeef as a result of an Israeli enemy strike on a car, according to a statement from the Health Ministry that was released on Thursday by the National News Agency (NNA).
An “enemy drone” launched a strike on a vehicle close to the town, which coincided with artillery shelling, according to the NNA.
In another instance, the Israeli military claimed in a statement that “several Hezbollah terrorists were identified transferring weapons in the Yohmor region of southern Lebanon” and that the army “struck the terrorists”.
The NNA also reported that “one person was killed and another was hurt in the Israeli drone’s attack on a car in the town of Maaroub,” which also happens in south Lebanon, on Thursday morning.
Since the ceasefire on November 27, Israel has been conducting raids in Lebanon, hitting what it claims are Hezbollah military targets who have broken the agreement. However, civilians made up the majority of the victims.
The Israeli military claimed that two Hezbollah operatives were killed in an Israeli attack earlier this month, according to the Health Ministry.
Ramp up during a fight
Eight people were killed in Israeli strikes in south Lebanon over the weekend, which was the most intense escalation since the cease-fire.
Israel claimed that those raids were carried out as a result of rocket fire, the first since the ceasefire.
No one has claimed responsibility for the rocket fire, which reportedly started north of the Litani River, between Kfar Tebnit and Arnoun, close to the ceasefire zone.
Hezbollah, which has suffered from the conflict, denied involvement.
Hezbollah agreed to withdraw its forces from the Litani River, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) away from the Israeli border, and to destroy any remaining military installations in the south in accordance with the ceasefire.
Israel was planning to leave its forces in south Lebanon and cross the de facto border, the Blue Line, but it still maintains five positions that it considers “strategic.”
Naim Qassem, the head of Hezbollah, stated on Wednesday: “We will not accept the continued Israeli occupation.”
In a televised address, he declared, “There is no room for normalization or surrender in Lebanon.”

Model Emily Ratajkowski has revealed a shocking new hairstyle – and she’s not happy about it. The 33-year-old model took to TikTok on March 25 to unveil what she described as the “worst haircut of my life”, and fans quickly flocked to the comment section to give their thoughts on her new do.

She continued, “Is it giving to [singer] Karen O or is it giving] member of The Dare?” The main thing is that it’s not me, even though the very nice man who did this to me probably was trying to get a British shag.
Emily was obviously unimpressed despite the stylist’s alleged reference to one of her previous haircuts. She parted the front sections to the side to make the situation look less offensive.
She was horrified by others’ horror. Influencer Tinx questioned, “Why do the bangs start so far back,” while actress Julia Fox claimed she was “so mad” on her behalf.
However, some believed the model could achieve the look. One user remarked, “Ok, but if anyone can pull this off, it’s you.” “Am I the only one who loves it, asks the other person. “
Emily has previously used bangs, and the results have been much better. She won over audiences at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022 with a sheer beaded Miu Miu gown and Jane Birkin-style curtain bangs. She later made the decision to go with a slim side-swept fringe.
While she hasn’t drastically changed her hair in recent years, she has played around with various styles. At last year’s Met Gala, she sported a two-sided bun updo with delicate face-framing strands.
She stunned at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with a voluminous side-parted hairstyle that perfectly complemented her sultry, nearly see-through gown.
For now, though, it seems Emily is stuck dealing with an unexpected hair mishap – proving that even the world’s most glamorous women aren’t immune to a salon disaster.
Emily is best known for her modeling work, but she has also appeared in movies and starred in Robin Thicke’s contentious 2013 music video, Blurred Lines, which earned her fame.
Since then, she has walked for well-known fashion brands, performed on cover stories for magazines like Vogue and GQ, and acted in movies like Gone Girl (2014).
She is also a writer, having published the bestseller-selling essay collection My Body in 2021, which explored feminism, power, and the modeling industry. She also teaches in addition to her acting and acting roles.

Peter Lever, a former fast bowler for Lancashire and England, passed away at the age of 84 after a brief illness.
Lever made his Test debut against England in 1970 when the team won the Ashes in Australia under captain Raymond Illingworth.
When the third Test in Melbourne washed out, Lever also participated in the first one-day international, a hastily planned 40-over match between England and Australia.
In 1970, he actually played for England in a match against a Rest of the World XI, which was ultimately ended in Test mode.
In 17 Tests and 11 more one-day internationals overall, Lever took 41 wickets.
In 301 first-class games, he took almost 800 wickets while playing for Lancashire between 1960 and 1976.
Peter Lever passed away peacefully today, according to his wife Ros. “It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness. a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandpa.
He “had a significant impact on my cricketing life.”
Jonathan Agnew, the BBC’s top cricket commentator,
A fast bowler from the Nursery End entered the Gillette Cup final at Lord’s between Lancashire and Kent when I was 11 years old. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen. That’s who I want to be, my father said to me. Peter Lever was it.
The way he bowled was mysterious. The upbeatness and energy. I was Peter Lever right away because it gave me a spark. After seeing Peter bowl, my dad decided that I should be an off-spinner like him. He was everywhere in my life as I got older and I copied his actions.
I paid to have some coaching in the Lancashire nets at Old Trafford when I was about 15 and moved to Cheshire to stay with my grandmother. I was promoted to bowl to the first team because I was reasonably quick. I was extremely anxious. Peter was right in front of the next-door internet cafe. It was like a true dream.
I devoted my life to him. He was a very gentle character for a fast bowler.
Due to apartheid, Peter refused to play against South Africa when they traveled to England in 1965 and played against Lancashire in a tour match.
Then, in 1975, he had the horrifying experience of hitting the home number 11 Ewen Chatfield with a bouncer in the first Test against New Zealand in Auckland. Chatfield was close to passing away. Peter was almost destroyed by it.
It snowed and left the field as if it were a lottery game between Derbyshire and Lancashire at Buxton a few years later. Because he thought bowling was too dangerous, Peter refused to play.
After their initial professional years, Raymond Illingworth and Peter continued to play together. Peter became the bowling coach when Raymond took over the England team as the team’s supremo head coach and selector.
Peter and Ros moved to Devon, where he immersed himself in the local community. He planted wildflowers all over the village while coaching cricket at Lewdown Cricket Club.
Everyone who has ever played for England at Lord’s, both men and women, was invited to a “Club England” dinner at Lord’s in 2017. I was only permitted to host the evening if I wanted to sit next to Peter. We each received a special cap in honor of our achievements as England players. He gave me both of his and mine, and I gave them both. It turned out lovely.
