Alex Pereira called UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya a "child" for mocking his 12-year-old son after winning the title belt last Saturday.
"Honestly, I wouldn't do the same," Pereira said in part (h/t Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting).
"I can play with him like I've always played. I've teased him, but I don't know, he's another child. I don't know what his feelings were. He was enduring this for seven years and I saw his joy after the knockout. That was his dream. That was his dream and he made it, but we're comparing him with a child who was 5 years old at the time, right?
