Undisputed light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira has claimed he’s not waiting on a potential trilogy rubber match against two-time Octagon foe, Israel Adesanya following a call out to the City Kickboxing staple after UFC 295 last month, claiming he has given the ex-champion the chance to secure a third fight against him.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight titleholder, headlined UFC 295 back in November at Madison Square Garden, landing the light heavyweight title in a spectacular second round win over former champion, Jiri Prochazka in the pair’s vacant championship showing.
As for Adesanya, the Nigerian-Kiwi striker headlined UFC 293 back in September most recently, dropping the middleweight title in a shocking upset loss to common-foe, Sean Strickland – becoming the first champion in Octagon history to suffer a title loss twice in the same year.
