Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is looking to get fans hyped up for his rematch with Alex Pereira using an iconic character from the Saw franchise.
UFC president Dana White announced on Friday that Pereira vs. Adesanya II was going to headline UFC 287, the upcoming pay-per-view event scheduled for April 8 at a to-be-announced location and venue.
With his rematch confirmed, Adesanya shared a promo that featured clips of Billy the Puppet, the sinister-looking, tricycle-riding, game-playing character used by John ‘Jigsaw’ Kramer (played by actor Tobin Bell) in the Saw movies to communicate with his ill-fated victims.
