In the Twitter post, Alex Pereira is reacting to how Adesanya responded to the decision of Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman 3 at UFC 286. He wrote, “Seems like Izzy isn’t surprised.” The result of the Championship fight did not surprise Adesanya. Pereria congratulated Leon Edwards on Twitter. Next month at UFC 287, Pereira and Adesanya will collide in a rematch for the Middleweight Championship.

Israel Adesanya is 0-3 against Alex Pereira. Previously, they competed in Kickboxing bouts where Pereira won both fights. Last year at UFC 281, Pereira got a stoppage victory over Adesanya. It was also Adesanya’s first loss in the UFC Middleweight division.

Pereira is undefeated in the UFC. He only took four fights to win the UFC title. He is also the only fighter to be the champion in Glory Kickboxing and the UFC. Only time will tell if Adesanya can defeat Pereira or if Pereira will be the one fighter Adesanya cannot beat.
