Alex Pereira says “nothing” could compare to his MMA win over Israel Adesanya

Alex Pereira doesn’t believe anything could compare to his UFC 281 triumph over Israel Adesanya.

On Saturday night, Alex Pereira will face off in a rematch against Magomed Ankalaev for the UFC light heavyweight championship. The bout will take place in the main event of UFC 320, and while many believe that Ankalaev is the favorite, there’s no denying that ‘Poatan’ has the tools necessary to cause the champion some problems.

In recent days and weeks, things have been heating up with some interesting verbal exchanges between the two light heavyweight warriors. Alex Pereira, now at least, seems to be focusing on the task at hand – but there’s no denying that there is a bit of bad blood entering this one.
