Alex Pereira says ‘scared s—t’ Israel Adesanya ‘wants me to slip’ so he doesn’t lose to me again

Former two-time Glory kickboxing champion Alex Pereira is one of the most decorated strikers on the UFC roster at the moment. In fact, during his time on the ring, ‘Poatan’ even scored two wins over current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, including a knockout.

With a track record like that, it is no surprise that fans wish to see Pereira take on the ‘Last Stylebender’ in the Octagon. However, with just one win into his UFC career, Alex will have to climb the ladder before he gets there.

In order to keep the momentum going, Poatan is now scheduled to take on Bruno Silva at UFC Fight Vegas 50, in a fight that will most likely stay on the feet.
