Undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Alex Pereira has claimed that former division champion, Israel Adesanya has rushed a return to the Octagon ahead of their UFC 287 title rematch this Saturday in Miami, Florida – claiming the latter is haunted by their trio of showdowns.
Pereira, the current undisputed middleweight champion, returns to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 287 at the Miami-Dade Center – attempting to land his first defense of the 185lbs crown.
Headlining UFC 281 back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden against City Kickboxing striker, Adesanya, Pereira stopped the latter’s championship reign with a stunning, fifth round standing TKO at the Octagon fence in New York City.
