Alex Pereira, Adesanya's black beast who knocked him out in kickboxing
The middleweight champion and the Brazilian meet at UFC 281
According to Alex Pereira, Israel Adesanya is forced to fight him because he believes that the middleweight champion has been avoiding him due to their past in kickboxing. The truth is that he has been in the company very little.
Recently, 'The Last Stylebender' said: "Fuck the belt, all I want at UFC 281 is to beat Alex Pereira!". This Saturday, at Madison Square Garden in New York, both fighters have pending accounts. If something cannot be missing in a UFC main event, it is a good rivalry.
The point is, before dedicating himself to MMA full-time, Adesanya had a successful kickboxing career and had made a name for himself with the most successful company in the sport, Glory Kickboxing. In 2016, the New Zealander-Nigerian crossed paths with 'Poatan' Pereira for the first time and the Brazilian won unanimously.
A year later it was the revenge. The reigning UFC middleweight champion was putting together an outstanding performance and the points win was looking good, but then 'Stylebender' was brutally knocked out thanks to a big left hook to the chin in the third round. Adesanya already knows that at UFC 281 he must be very careful with the fists of who has been the first two-division champion of Glory Kickboxing.
