Pereira challenges Adesanya after winning world title

Alex Pereira after winning the UFC light heavyweight championship belt, he challenged Israel Adesanya. Alex noted that at one time Izzy seriously motivated him, literally pulling him out of the bar with the words that “Pereira is now sitting in the bar and is jealous of him.” Now the Brazilian wants to repay the debt.

“I want to defend my championship title against the man who became my motivation. Who literally pulled me out of the bar... He literally saved me and pulled me out. Now he says he won't fight until 2027, but I think he's wasting his talent. So I want to save him in return. This is Adesanya...” Pereira said.

Let us remind you that at UFC 295, which took place this morning, Pereira knocked out Prochazka and became the new light heavyweight champion of the promotion.
