Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has shared his perspective on the potential rematch between his past opponent Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev. Adesanya believes Pereira possesses the capability to avenge his previous loss.
Pereira, a Brazilian fighter, faced Ankalaev in March and was defeated by unanimous decision, which resulted in him losing his light heavyweight title in the UFC.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Adesanya praised Pereira`s journey and accomplishments:
I am so proud of Pereira and what he has accomplished. It feels like I created a monster. He has shown who he is in two weight categories.
Looking ahead to a possible future clash between Pereira and Ankalaev, “The Last Stylebender” added his thoughts:
I am looking forward to his next fight with Ankalaev. I think this will be another tough challenge, but Pereira will cope. Because his first fight wasn’t a complete failure, and he is also getting better at a geometric rate.
