Israel Adesanya & Alex Pereira
In the middleweight division, Israel Adesanya is the only fighter to have defeated every top opponent in the weight class. His current opponent in the UFC, Jared Cannonier, is said to be his toughest to yet. This tactic has historically been employed by fans and the UFC against all of Israel’s competitors, and “Stylebender” has consistently prevailed. But this is but one battle in a series. The full UFC 276 PPV is unquestionably the best pay-per-view of the year.
The middleweight title match will feature Cannonier versus Adesanya because of the latter’s dominance and lap-running. Even with tiny, four-ounce gloves, anything is possible in MMA. Having legitimate power, Cannonier is doubly impacted by this. Despite the fact that Israel is the clear favourite heading into it, anything can happen in the sport especially when the two best go at it. Here’s a countdown of the bout:-
“That’s overhyped”- Israel Adesanya delivers a direct jab at his longstanding rival Alex Pereira
Since joining the UFC roster last year, Pereira is 2-0. He defeated Andreas Michailidis via knockout before defeating Bruno Silva through the decision. Adesanya rejected the idea that, should both of them triumph at UFC 276, it would be premature for Pereira to meet him in a UFC news conference last week.
UFC middleweight champion, is the only combat sports player to be defeated by Pereira. Pereira prevailed in each of their two kickboxing matches against Adesanya. He was defeated by Pereira twice, once by unanimous decision in 2016 and once via knockout in 2017. Despite suffering two defeats at the hands of Pereira in kickboxing, UFC middleweight champion Adesanya doesn’t view him as a particularly difficult MMA opponent. In a recent interview with Kayo Sports, Israel stated, “I’m gonna go with Alex Pereira because I’ll make him look easy,Yeah, right now just enjoy the setup fights, enjoy the setup victories, you know? Yeah, that’s overhyped.”
