Israel Adesanya signed a deal with Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration. He went on to Paul’s Impaulsive podcast to celebrate the sponsorship deal. Recently, Adesanya went on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant to discuss his future and the rivalry with Alex Pereira. Schulz has a good relationship with Joe Rogan and has covered the sport of MMA on his podcast.
On the podcast episode, Israel Adesanya shared crazy details about his experience after defeating Pereira at UFC 287. He said, “I didn’t sleep till about maybe 4 am. I was up. Sudden at night, tootsies upstairs, shoulder rubs, I had to. There was even a point they went down when I couldn’t go up. Let us put it that way.” In the middle of the conversation, Schulz interrupted, saying, “A few Brazilians went down in Miami,” leaving the entire cast laughing.
Israel Adesanya has perfect chemistry with the cast of Flagrant. They discussed Alex Pereira and training with BJJ expert Craig Jones in detail. They also discussed the upcoming UFC 290 PPV card featuring his friend, Alexander Volkanovski. Volk will take on Yair Rodriguez to unify the featherweight title. Also, the fight card will reveal who will challenge Adesanya later this year.
Robert Whittaker competes against Dricus Du Plessis in a title eliminator bout. Du Plessis and Adesanya have a heated rivalry which even led his coach to get involved in the feud. Whoever wins the bout at UFC 290 will challenge Adesanya later this year. Adesanya hopes to fight in the upcoming Australia PPV card this year if everything goes according to plan.
Israel Adesanya will fight Alex Pereira again on one condition
Unlike anything witnessed in combat sports, Alex Pereira and Adesanya have a unique rivalry. Pereira and Adesanya fought each other as kickboxers, and Pereira defeated Adesanya twice. Years later, Pereira chases down Adesanya in MMA and defeats him.
However, Adesanya managed to defeat him at UFC 287. Adesanya does not look forward to another fight with Pereira. Nevertheless, he has a condition to fight Pereira again. He said, “If he wins the belt at 205 I’ll do it again. But if not – I think he’s done with it. I’m done with it. I think everyone else wants to see it, but we’ve moved on.”
At the moment, neither wants to compete against each other. It could all change if Pereira finds success in the 205-pound division. The former middleweight champion will make his light heavyweight debut at UFC 291 and will look to fight for the title in the division.
