Glover Teixeira, the former UFC light heavyweight champion explained why the organization's former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will not rush to accept the challenge and have a third fight with Alex Pereira, who is the current champion of the promotion in the light heavyweight division. According to Teixeira, Izzy has already earned a lot of money, so he will not take risks, but will fight easy fights for big money.

“You have to admit that Adesanya doesn’t want to fight Pereira. Israel is now in a great position, the guy has a lot of money. I'm not saying that he's afraid, no. If Adesanya had not won the UFC belt, he would have stood up and met Alex without hesitation...” said Glover.

Let us remind you that Pereira and Adesanya had 2 fights within the UFC, and now the score in their confrontation is 1-1.
