Alex Pereira has given his thoughts on Israel Adesanya’s response to his callout at UFC 295 last weekend.
On Saturday night, Alex Pereira won the UFC light heavyweight championship. He did so by knocking out Jiri Prochazka, becoming the latest two-weight world champion in UFC history. The win cemented Pereira’s status as one of the most successful fighters of his generation, with many believing it also confirmed his spot in the UFC Hall of Fame one day.
In the immediate aftermath of the win, ‘Poatan’ had a few things to say on the microphone in his post-fight interview. He opted to call out long-time rival Israel Adesanya, hoping to lure him back into the Octagon for a third showdown between them in the UFC.
