Ahead of his incoming UFC 287 title rematch with former undisputed champion, Israel Adesanya this weekend, current middleweight kingpin, Alex Pereira has zero interest in sharing the Octagon with the undefeated welterweight challenger, Khamzat Chimaev, claiming the Chechen-born contender “talks too much”.
Headlining UFC 287 this Saturday in Miami, Florida, Pereira looks to end his rivalry with former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Adesanya – having collected the division crown against the Nigerian-Kiwi back in November of last year.
Featuring at the Madison Square Garden flagship event last year, Pereira managed to rally to defeat City Kickboxing staple, Adesanya with a stunning fifth round standing TKO win at the Octagon fence.
