Israel Adesanya held the UFC belt since knocking out Robert Whittaker in 2019. He defended the title five times and was looking likely to do it for the sixth time against Alex Pereira. Having dominated ‘Poatan’ in the initial rounds, Adesanya was winning on the judge’s scorecard. However, Pereira unloaded his best in the fifth round and scored a TKO win. It remains to be seen whether Adesanya can become the champion again.
UFC: Will Conor McGregor-wish of Israel Adesanya vs Alex Pereira 2 happen in the UFC?
Israel Adesanya was medically suspended after his UFC 281 defeat. Upon returning to action, he should get an immediate title shot. ‘Izzy’ has been a high-profile champion and is still one of the best P4P stars in the UFC. He is currently the number one ranked middleweight and has vowed to rematch ‘Poatan’ Pereira.
UFC: Conor McGregor trolled for saying Israel Adesanya still has that belt and has no time limit- ‘What Alex Pereira would do to McGregor’
Alex Pereira has already beaten Israel Adesanya twice in kickboxing and once in MMA. He might have found the former champion’s number, but Mixed Martial Arts remains a brutal sport, where things can change at any given point. There are all the reasons why UFC should host the rematch somewhere down the line.
