The new UFC middleweight champion is a firm believer that styles making fights. Having defeated Israel Adesanya three times, two in kickboxing and the last one in MMA at UFC 281, Alex Pereira gave his thoughts on why it may be time for the ‘Last Stylebender’ to understand that his way of fighting just does not match up well with the Brazilian’s.
To drive his point home even further, Pereira shared a personal story during an interview with Super Lutas (h/t CrashMMA). In the conversation, ‘Poatan’ revealed how he lost three amateur kickboxing matches to the same man and attributes the defeats to their styles just not matching up well for him.
