Reigning middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya stokes rivalry with Alex Pereira following what seemed like a friendly run in with Alex Pereira.
UFC 287 saw the MMA rematch between Adesanya and Pereira following their fight just five months before where Pereira would stop Adesanya in the fifth round. This time however, it was Adesanya who would have his hand raised, brutally knocking out ‘Poatan’ in the second round of their fight.
It was just another chapter of their long standing rivalry which began in their professional kickboxing days and the pair have now fought four time across the two disciplines, with Pereira being 3-1 overall.
