Notably, Pereira and Amir previously had a dispute with former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal. Following his split decision win over Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC Vegas 55 in 2022, the Brazilian accused Masvidal of sending messages to his wife and called him out for a potential matchup, saying:

''He sent an emoji to my wife, the emoji with the two hands together like ‘amen'. He sent it to my wife. He didn’t send it to me. I’ve never actually crossed paths with him. I didn’t have a chance to ask him, so I figured I really want to understand. But I might as well understand inside the octagon, settle it over there.”

Masvidal responded by posting a screenshot of Amir attempting to contact him first on social media. 'Gamebred' slammed Pereira for trying to create a ''fake narrative'' to schedule a fight between them, writing:

''How crazy a world and how far has society fallen that this idiot @UfcPereira would use his wife to hopefully 1 day get a paycheck and create a fake narrative to try and get a fight with me when clearly he sees she slid in my dm? Wishing you guys the best #marriagecounselor''
