Israel Adesanya recently offered his perspective on his former opponent, Alex Pereira.
Speaking on the `Pound 4 Pound` podcast hosted by Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo, Adesanya recalled facing Pereira and specifically highlighted the impact of his striking and unique physical build. He noted the surprising power of Pereira`s kicks in their second bout:
“In the rematch, that damn leg kick was there again. When he kicked me in the first round, I thought: `Again?` The first thing you think is: `Oh, damn!` Something with his bones… Something is not right with his bones. He has gigantism or something like that. Look at his knuckles [on his hands]. Look at his feet. Like Ronald McDonald. Damn big.”
