Former UFC middleweight king Israel Adesanya has revealed a pretty interesting story regarding Alex Pereira.
Right now, Alex Pereira is on top of the world. He is the UFC light heavyweight champion, and he’s set to headline UFC 300 against Jamahal Hill. The pieces are falling perfectly into place for him to cement his position as one of the best MMA fighters of all time. It’s crazy, too, when you consider how little time he’s spent in the sport.
Prior to MMA, though, he was an esteemed kickboxer. He had two big matchups against Israel Adesanya during his career, with the second taking place in Brazil.
