Israel Adesanya will defend his UFC middleweight title against Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 281 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, it was announced Friday.
"They're part of history—part of his story," Adesanya said Friday of his previous two losses to Pereira, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. "The judges gave him the nod in the first, and the second he took me out in the third round. Now, it's time for my story."
