Pereira Predicts Adesanya To Return ‘Faster’ Than Expected
Former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira is skeptical about his longtime rival Israel Adesanya’s decision to take an extended break from mixed martial arts competition. Adesanya’s year has been a rollercoaster ride, starting with a dominant win over Pereira in April to reclaim the middleweight title. However, he lost the belt to Sean Strickland in a surprising upset just five months later. Many attributed Adesanya’s defeat to his frequent fights, and the former champ himself announced plans for a break. But Pereira, who knows Adesanya well, believes that the Nigerian-New Zealander will return sooner than expected.
During a recent interview, Pereira expressed his confusion about Adesanya’s decision, suggesting that he may be unsure about his next career move after the quick end to his championship reign. Pereira believes that Adesanya’s love for fighting will lead him to come back earlier and faster than anticipated. While Adesanya takes a well-deserved rest, Pereira has his sights set on the light heavyweight belt, as he prepares to challenge Jiří Procházka in the upcoming UFC 295 main event.
