Related Topics: UFC, Israel Adesanya

The top of UFC 281 is an extremely interesting pair of title fights. The co-main event features who is probably the most difficult current champion for the UFC to market. The main event features a challenger who has seven MMA fights under his belt, making him on4e of the most unlikely and unorthodox challengers in recent memory. Given fighters like Leon Edwards required consecutive 10 fights without a loss before he was able to fight for the title, it’s especially unique. Of course, Alex Pereira has history with Israel Adesanya, being the only one to knock out the current reigning middleweight champion in any of the various combat sports Adesanya has competed in.
