Gina Amir, Michel Pereira’s wife, finally addressed the call-out controversy between her husband and the former welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal.

It all started with the call-out made on the UFC Fight Night last Saturday. The surging welterweight contender Michael Pereira secured a decision victory in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 55 last weekend.

Later, in the post-fight interview, ‘Demolidor’ accused the BMF titleholder Jorge Masvidal of texting his wife. However, ‘Gamebred’ cleared the air by posting a screenshot from the chat.

In the screenshot uploaded by Masvidal, it was clearly visible that Michel Pereira’s wife texted the Floridian, and the latter replied with a folded hand emoji. Masvidal also took a jibe at Pereira for using his wife to get a fight.

However, now Michel Pereira’s wife Gina Amir has herself addressed the controversy. She released a statement on her Instagram account, which was posted by MMA Fighting on Twitter.

Amir wrote, “Society is always looking for excitement, and unfortunately, drama sells. Twisting the narrative to create a story that is false. I have never, and would never, do anything to disrespect my marriage or my husband.”

“This account, as you can see, is a business account, and way more than 1 person has access to it. This is not even the way I would speak. Not to mention it is from years ago and before I even knew Michel.” She added.

“Michel and I would appreciate respect as we are starting a family together. There is lots of hatred in this world. We do not need to add to it. Peace and love to all of you.” She concluded.
