Alex Pereira Explains Why He Liked His Rivalry With Adesanya More Than Ankalaev: “He’s Doing It Totally Wrong”

Alex Pereira isn’t exactly thrilled with the way his rematch against Magomed Ankalaev has been building.

After surrendering the light heavyweight title to Ankalaev in March, ‘Poatan’ will look to reclaim the crown when he steps back into the main event spotlight at UFC 320 in Las Vegas.

While it’s undoubtedly exciting anytime Pereira competes, there has been little fanfare surrounding his sequel scrap with Ankalaev. Some of that can probably be blamed on the Brazilian’s lackluster performance in their first meeting. But if you ask Pereira, it’s the lack of story that’s leaving fans a little uninterested.
