Pereira answered whether Adesanya deserves a rematch with Strickland

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 12, 2023, 3:38 a.m.

Former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira explained why the newly-minted holder of this title Sean Srikland should not give immediate revenge Israel Adesanya.

Let us remember that last weekend at UFC 293, Strickland defeated Adesanya by unanimous decision and became the champion in the promotion’s middle division.

“Personally, I don’t agree with this opinion. When I defeated Adesanya, I agreed to a rematch because I was losing that fight and managed to knock him out only in the last round. So it was a completely different situation. Now Sean has exceeded all expectations.

For many people who did not believe in him, now is the time to believe. I think Strickland should move on and give other fighters a chance,” Pereira said in a release on his YouTube channel.
