Gina Amir, Michel Pereira’s wife, has spoken out after being caught in the thick of a call-out feud between her husband and Jorge Masvidal
Following his split decision victory over Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC Vegas 55, Pereira accused Masvidal of sending his wife a prayer emoji on social media. Masvidal reacted by retrieving a snapshot of the chat, which appeared to show Amir initiating it.

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?

Neither Pereira’s wife nor Masvidal said anything wrong or controversial, but the unexpected rise in attention prompted Amir to make her social media profiles private. She wrote a note on her Instagram before she departed that read:
“People are constantly seeking excitement, and drama, unfortunately, sells. Creating a misleading story by twisting the narrative. I’ve never done anything to disrespect my marriage or my spouse, and I’ll never do it again.”
What Happened:
She continued, ”
“As we prepare to establish a family together, Michel and I would desire respect. We don’t need to add to the existing hostility around the globe. “Peace and love to everyone.”
Most UFC fighters avoid trash talking about their spouses and girlfriends. The latest felony violence allegation filed against Jorge Masvidal for allegedly hitting Colby Covington outside a Miami Beach restaurant is an excellent example of what happens when such borders are crossed. Pereira, on the other hand, drew his wife into the debate, accusing Masvidal of inappropriate behavior.
Michel Pereira’s appeal for action is dismissed by Jorge Masvidal as a “false narrative.”
If Michel Pereira’s purpose was to induce Jorge Masvidal to respond, he was successful. Unfortunately for ‘Demolidor,’ Masvidal’s retort was savage, completely reversing the narrative. Masvidal sent out the following tweet:
While a battle between Jorge Masvidal and Michel Pereira would undoubtedly be entertaining, Pereira still has work to do before he can challenge ‘Gamebird’ for the UFC welterweight title. While Masvidal is presently rated eighth, Pereira is hopeful that his victory over No. 14 Santiago Ponzinibbio will propel him into the top 15.
