Pereira ready to take revenge on Adesanya

Newly minted UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira said that he was ready to fight again with the former belt holder Israel Adesanya.

On the night of November 13 at UFC 281 in New York, Pereira defeated Adesanya by TKO in the fifth round.

"I don't care. I am here to fight. These decisions are not made by me, but by the UFC. If they decide that they need a rematch, then I'm ready. No problem.

I knew I was punching it. Our strategy was based on this, but it is very persistent. Israel is very strong, he is a very tough and technical striker. I saw that my blows bothered him. At the end of the first round, Adesanya shook me a lot. He surprised me, I won't lie. We mainly worked in kickboxing, and I, apparently, relaxed a little, ”said the Brazilian at a press conference.
