Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya are both MMA fighters who will have their second match this Saturday. Back in November, Pereira challenged for a 185-pound title challenger despite not having many fights under his belt. His previous success against Adesanya in kickboxing was a big factor contributing to it. In the end, he came out on top by defeating Adesanya in the 5th round at UFC 281.
Now, for this special occasion, Pereira needs to beat the same person he’s already beat three times before in a middleweight title match. Let’s hope this will be the last time he has to face them!
Adesanya has had lots of success and is already one of the best UFC fighters ever, but he’s lost to Pereira three times – so now he needs to try his hardest to win against them in their next fight. If he doesn’t put in all his effort here, he could wind up like Rich Franklin and be left behind as a middleweight champion. Watch the main event of UFC 287 on Saturday night to see what happens!
