Pereira will be rooting for Adesanya in his fight with Du Plessis

Alex Pereira, UFC bantamweight champion, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya.

"I don't think he (Israel Adesanya) will lose this fight against Dricus du Plessis. I hope he wins because he has a beautiful story. I think he should continue his story. He's not a young guy. He's talked a little bit about his desire to stop performing. I think he has those thoughts; I think he should continue to realize his plans. I don't think he has realized everything he wants to realize; I definitely don't know if he will stop if he does; since he's still here, he should still have a dream. I don't know.I support him. I've fought him before and I'm not going to say he should lose. I'm not mad at him, no hard feelings. Like I said, if it's ever possible to train with him, exchanging knowledge, I will," Pereira was quoted as saying by Lowkick MMA.
