Just a little over a week after his UFC 276 title defense against Jared Cannonier, Israel Adesanya is already setting up his next fight. His next challenger is likely Alex Pereira, the only man to knock out “The Last Stylebender.”
Pereira knocked out Sean Strickland with a clean left hook in the first round of their main card fight in the same event, subsequently entering the top ten. And without giving specifics, Izzy says a fight date has already been determined.
“We’ve got a date. We’ve already sussed it out. We’re already planning… we’re sussed with it,” Adesanya said in an interview on his Freestylebender YouTube channel.
