Alex Pereira has warned Israel Adesanya that ‘The Last Stylebender’ won’t make it five rounds at UFC 281, guaranteeing a stoppage victory on Nov. 12.
Pereira is just three fights into his UFC career but is confident he has what it takes to defeat Adesanya given that he is already 2-0 over the reigning middleweight champion in kickboxing.
Their last fight at Glory of Heroes 7 ended in a knockout victory for Pereira after the Brazilian floored Adesanya with a vicious left hook in the third round, marking the first knockout loss of Adesanya’s combat sports career.
