Bisping: Pereira can beat Adesanya

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping speculated on the topic of a possible duel between the current title holder Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira.

“What Adesanya did with Costa was incredible. Romero, twice Whittaker, Silva, Gastelum, Cannonier - he killed all the top fighters. There is literally no one left here. That is why Pereira is here, he is like a breath of fresh air. And he can be the one to defeat Adesanya.

I do not claim that he will do this. Israel is a stronger kickboxer, but Pereira looks more dangerous and powerful. He's a little sloppy in terms of technique, but I understand why he'll get a title shot," the Brit said on the Believe You Me podcast.

Recall that Adesanya and Pereira had two kickboxing fights. Both times the victory was celebrated by the Brazilian.
