Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira’s UFC run has been a short yet sweet treat. Having previously defeated Israel Adesanya twice during his amateur kickboxing career, Pereira became champion by defeating Izzy once again but this time in the UFC. 

Pereira’s TKO of Izzy sent a message to the fans that there finally came a fighter who could compete on Adesanya’s level. Pereira (4-0 in the UFC) has won all his fights in the UFC via KO/TKO and has wins over top middleweights like Adesanya and Sean Strickland.

The Brazilian fighter’s old rivalry and victories with Adesanya in amateur kickboxing are what made UFC boss, Dana White reward the Brazilian fighter with a championship fight. To all the fans’ surprise, Pereira won the fight along with the title. Thus, taking the crown that once belonged to Izzy. 

Fans have since taken a stance in favor and against Izzy and are anticipating fireworks in the upcoming rematch at UFC 287.
