After picking former multiple-fight foe, Alex Pereira to win at UFC 307 — which saw him go against recent predictions against the Brazilian, it seemed Israel Adesanya was more than happy to watch on as the former defended his title against Khalil Rountree over the weekend.
Pereira, a former middleweight champion — who won undisputed gold against Adesanya back in 2022 with a stunning rallying knockout at Madison Square Garden, managed to defend the 205 pound title for the third time in just seven months over the course of last weekend, stopping Rountree.
