Pereira gives advice to Adesanya after loss to Strickland

Former UFC middleweight champion Alexa Pereira expressed the opinion that another ex-title holder Israel Adesanya must put his career on a short pause.

Last weekend, Adesanya lost to Sean Strickland via unanimous decision and lost his belt.

“Israel should take a break. Just let's not discredit him. It seems like he's had four fights in a year, so the guy needs to rest his body and mind. He will return rested and ready for the next fight.

After that, he will be able to come back for this belt and try to do something with Sean. However, I think it will be difficult for Israel to regain the title, given the style that Strickland showed,” MMA Junkie quotes Pereira as saying.
