The former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya lost and recaptured his title against the heavy-handed Brazilian Alex Pereira. But their rivalry dates back years from when they first met in kickboxing. Despite being 1-1 in the UFC, ‘The Last Stylebender’ has no interest in facing ‘Poatan’ for a trilogy match.
Israel Adesanya Not Interested in Alex Pereira
The Nigerian-Kiwi Israel Adesanya captured the UFC middleweight title in 2019 with a knockout, he then defended his title in five bouts. Later on, he would lose this crown to the US-born Sean Strickland.
