The new UFC middleweight champion sounds like he’s ready to accept whoever may come for his first title defense. After defeating Israel Adesanya via TKO at UFC 281, Alex Pereira says he does not care what the UFC has in mind for his next fight. That said, ‘Po Atan’ also had some advice for the ‘Last Stylebender’.
Having defeated the man twice already in kickboxing, Pereira told ESPN Brazil that, in his opinion, Adesanya should not make any decisions about his career at the moment—including jumping right back into another title fight. However, if the former champion really requests an immediate rematch, the Teixeira MMA & Fitness fighter revealed he would be glad to grant him one.
