‘Stop me when I lie’ — Henry Cejudo has Alex Pereira beating Israel Adesanya via KO

Israel Adesanya losing to Alex Pereira twice in kickboxing is enough to convince Henry Cejudo that the latter will get his hands raised against ‘The Last Stylebender’ at UFC 281.

Pereira is a former two-division GLORY kickboxing champion and considered one of the best strikers in MMA, having recently KO’d Sean Strickland with the same left hook he used to floor Adesanya in their kickboxing match at Glory Heroes of 7.

Cejudo expects a similar result at UFC 281 where both fighters will meet again but this time in MMA, with ‘Triple C’ picking ‘Poatan’ to become the first fighter to KO Adesanya in mixed martial arts and kickboxing.
