American UFC light heavyweight Derek Brunson shared his thoughts on a potential fight between the champion of his division Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira.
“If I were betting, I would bet on Alex. Not because he beat Israel twice in kickboxing. As far as I heard, Israel won the fight in which he was knocked out by Alex.
Alex is not afraid of exchanges and does not retreat much. In their fight, there will be as many as five rounds to deliver a single knockout blow.

But it is also easy to imagine how Adesanya wins by taking him apart. And I saw a couple of Alex's fights in which he looked a little tired. Israel has already fought five rounds, so it will be interesting,” Brunson said in an interview with Helen Yee.
