Pereira revealed what Adesanya excels at

"Honestly, I don't know, man. You should see the criteria they use. Adesanya has made a few title defenses, but I haven't been able to make a single defense at middleweight. However, there are things I have done: I was able to become a two-time champion. Izzy made attempts to become a two-time champion, but he couldn't. It doesn't bother me because it doesn't matter what classification you are given. What matters is what you do and inspiring people. And I think I am very good at it," Pereira said in an interview with Brazilian journalist Lavierte Viena.
