Offering some motivation and a championship fight trilogy with long-time rival, Israel Adesanya in the immediate aftermath of his spectacular light heavyweight title fight win at UFC 295 last night, Alex Pereira has claimed that despite mocking comments from the former following his victory, he maintains a trilogy bout is a fight fans would clamour for.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the promotion, turned in a second title fight win last night at Madison Square Garden – stopping former light heavyweight champion, Jiri Prochazka with a second round barrage to win the vacant championship in New York City.
