Adesanya talks about Pereira's advice for Blachowicz fight

UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya told what advice he gave to his former rival Alex Pereira during a chance meeting at the airport.

Recall that Pereira will face Jan Blachowicz on July 29 at UFC 291.

"He's going to fight the guy who gave me my first UFC loss when I moved up to light heavyweight. Pereira now has the same thoughts about Blachowicz that I had before our fight. So I had to warn him. I thought that Jan would work aggressively, but he was in no hurry. So, roughly speaking, I told Alex not to rush anywhere either.

I did not share all my observations with him. But, yes, it seems to me that Alex can knock him out. If I managed to shock Jan, then Alex is definitely able to knock him out, ”Sportkeeda quotes Adesanya.
