UFC star Israel Adesanya has revealed that he believes his story with rival Alex Pereira is over.

We’ve seen many great rivalries throughout the history of the UFC and mixed martial arts as a whole. In recent times, one of the better feuds has involved Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira.

Following on from a 2-0 series win for Pereira in kickboxing, the Brazilian also defeated ‘Stylebender’ in their first UFC meeting. However, in the rematch, it was Israel Adesanya who got his revenge with an incredible knockout to reclaim the UFC middleweight championship.
