[UFC] Israel Adesanya vs Alex Pereira 2

[Fundamentals Of]

Adesanta just put the lights out on Alex Pereira just when Alex is pouring in Adesanya I just thought Alex is going to knock out Izzy again until Izzy did a big counter punch that puts the light out of Alex, Izzy just establish his greatness by knocking out his arch-rival this just erased all of his losses by Adesanya and this is just sweet and spectacular congratulations to both fighters for giving a great fight to all UFC fans.

I guess there's going to be a 3rd match here in the UFC.

If you look at their entire history of confrontation, this is already the fourth fight between them (two were in kickboxing and Pereira won both times). In my opinion, there is no need for a third fight here, the champion lost his title, but he returned it revenge, this can be put an end to. Adesanya is a well-deserved champion who has been going to this for a long time and has repeatedly defended his belt.

I am in favor of a third fight of the two in the UFC. That Adesanya lost a couple of times to Pereira in kickboxing is not part of the story anymore. That's just history that isn't even MMA. The UFC record is 1-1 to both Pereira and Adesanya. So it is fair to have a third match if only to break the tie.

That was a great match. The first one was also a great match. There is no reason to deprive MMA fans of another great match in a second UFC rematch. Both fighters deserve it also.

If only Pereira survived those counterblows, this could have easily been a repeat of their first match. But Pereira was also the one who got saved by the bell in their first fight. A third fight is needed.

I didn't expect Adesanya to be able to win TKO from Pereira, he seemed to have prepared everything from the start, this was Adesanya's first win against Pereira, I'm sure there will be another match between the two that will take place in the next few years

I can say that the two of them have an eternal rivalry, apart from that Israel's Adesanya uses the "mocking" celebration that Pereira's son did to him first. really entertaining

Adesanya didn't just win a TKO against Pereira; he won a KO against the man who used to beat him 3 times. But it's not really unexpected. We all know how athletic, quick, and powerful Adesanya is. It could happen. You have to remember he also nearly knocked out Pereira in their first MMA match. Now, it has finally happened.

For now, the prospect of a rematch will have to be shelved. It could happen in the future though, but Dana has mentioned that Poatan might be moving to 205 after the match. So the rivalry will have to end, at least for now.

Pereira fits in that weight class. He don't have to dehydrate himself to take away 20 lbs every weigh-in. If Adesanya fights Pereira on 205 lbs, Adesanya will be in big trouble.

Maybe if Adesanya decides to also move to 205lbs, they may have a rematch but so far according to the news, a rematch in the coming months may be unlikely. And by that time also Pereira might have losses because LH is full of cold-blooded fighters like him.

The odds is saying if Adesanya will win this fight and he's a kickboxer, he have a power to knockout Pereira. The first match Adesanya is dominating the fight, but he just make an one mistake and Pereira can knockout Adesanya.

It's really fast how Adesanya can beat Pereira in the round 2, I expect it should be round 4 at least because both of them are a good fighter. Yeah Adesanya is mocking Pereira with his celebration, it's a good revenge by him.

[Bananington]

Adesanya is mocking Pereira with his celebration, it's a good revenge by him.

Pereira's son mocked Israel before when he was knocked out, Israel was just returning the favour. There will be another fight and by then the pressure would have shifted to Israel who will now be bearing the weight of trying to defend the belt he just won. Israel need to not rest but to continue developing and polishing his techniques so he can be ready before an official date for the next fight between the two of them be announced. It will be tougher.

Videos and pictures of them hugging and showing respect to each other are surfacing they have mutual respect for each other after the fight all hate and thrash talking should end, I'm sure they will meet again in the future it depends on the decision of the UFC, they go could go right away or they will let both fighters fight other fighters, the score is just even in the UFC and I'm sure the MMA community will like to see both fighters meet in the ring again, the excitement and the drama will still be there when they meet for the fifth time in their careers.

The fight could end with either of them winning via knockout. They both have the power. So the knockout win could come from Adesanya or Pereira. They're also very eager to prove something.

Although I really want to see a tie breaker, it seems the interest to have a rematch is very low. Dana White is not interested. Even Pereira himself is not interested anymore. Adesanya has also declared that he is not anymore interested in facing Pereira once more. So the rivalry is not eternal. It has already ended.

Alex Pereira is planning on moving up to 205 from 185 which he cut weight so to accommodate continue fighting in this weight-class.
Dana White even confirmed this during the post-fight press conference so don't expect them to fight anytime soon.
Plus, Pereira is not allowed to fight for another six months due to the nature of that knockout according to UFC rules and doctors are obligated too not allow fighters to take on another fight so soon afterwards.

So don't expect Alex Pereira in octagon until the fourth quarter of the year and he will possibly be fighting in the light heavyweight division at that time.

[Road21Bitcoin]

What a display of violence by Israel Adensanya! that was one of the best cold-blooded knockouts in the UFC. I hope there will be a trilogy, but as Adesanya said, he's not interested because he already got his redemption. I don't know if Alex Pereira will stay in the middleweight division or move up to the lightweight division. If they are planning to move up, that would be great, and I would love to watch him compete against Jiri Prohazka and Jamahal Hill for the championship belt.

This wasnt a display of violence, just to good hooks in the section of a temple If you think this is a "best cold-blooded knockout", then I suggest you to look for KO compilations on YouTube But no doubt, those two hooks were well timed. Adesanya said that he isnt interested in fighting same person 3 times in a row. He isnt interested in fighting Pereira not because he has got redemption. This isnt a redemption, it is 1-3 between them so far. And you have funny confused lightweight and light heavyweight Pereira barely fits in 185lb, and you say he will move to 155lb. Cant imagine Pereira even physically fitting in 155lb. He would probably have to cut his arm to fit in

Man, that Adesanya-Pereira brawl was straight fire, just like you said! Adesanya clinching that TKO victory had me shook, 'cause Pereira ain't no slouch. But hey, that's the game, and you're right – these two got a never-ending face-off. It's a sport that makes you ponder the essence of rivalry and human prowess. Still, I'm mad amped about the idea there won't be a rematch. Both Adesanya and Pereira got stacks to show, and I'm betting they'll clash again down the road. Remember, sports ain't just about the drama, but camaraderie and props too. Even with their heated rivalry, I know Adesanya and Pereira got mad respect for each other.

was the fight confirmed? A lot of people are looking to have the two fight again to further cement who's the better fighter but as far as I know no official announcement from any party, not even UFC's that says they are confirmed to get a new fight. In any case I think this will be one of the biggest fight in UFC history, seeing as this fight already made grounds on the internet, partly because of Israel Adesanya's massive KO win against Pereira. But I digress, I don't think the fight is confirmed yet by any party, but I can expect the both of them being very eager to face each other in the ring for another fight or so just to really prove who's big and who's not worthy of the title.

No official announcement yet I think its too early but Adesanya himself already told the press that if Pereira wants another match with him, Pereira would have to work hard for it to be given another title shot. Its something like a big NO but it seem to make sense as well to which he added that he already have given Pereira the chance to get a belt even when he only beaten one top fighter such as Sean Strickland.

I agree, that's what my read as well during Adesanya's post interview, that somewhat Pereira was "given" the opportunity to have a crack at the belt. While him work his way out for years defeating good fighters in his way to become a champion.

Nevertheless, the plot just thickens, I mean we want to see another fight between the two great fighters.

But if Pereira can get back to the ring, sort of going for a title eliminator, who knows, maybe just a couple of fights and then we will see this warriors on the ring again. Pereira still has Adesanya's number though, just saying.

Yes, Alex Pereira definitely needs enough rest. That knockout punch that he got from Adesanya was not a soft one. Pereira was already shut down before his body even touched the floor. He probably even got a fracture on his face as a result of that serious blow. He needs enough time to fully recover and be in 100% health condition when he comes back to face another opponent. And yes, most probably in 205 already.

[OgNasty]

After watching the fight back I’m not sure Izzy was pulling a masterful rope a dope. It looked a bit like he was getting pounded on and then threw some haymakers as a last attempt to not get put down. They landed perfectly and he got a clean win, but this was a close fight. If I were Izzy I would want a new opponent too.

It actually looks like he was in trouble in that exchange but it could also be that he planned it all to make Periera lower his guard and it's exactly what happened when Pereira began to be very confident after throwing the body shot.

This Pereira's fall is making lots of fans want more to have another shot for the two in the cage. As much as DC wants it to happen, Adesanya had already spoken about declining Alex unless he crawls up the rank beating the top fighters.

Lol, there was no violence there, there's not even a blood spilled on that fight if I'm not mistaken. It was a display of heart and resiliency on the part of Adesanya that despite him losing the first 2 fights, he still believed in himself that he can beat Alex Pereira and he even envisioned that it will be quick and that's really happen in this fight and if ever one lesson here, just listen to his post fight interview by Joe Rogan. He will have to go up in lightweight, he seems to have problems staying at middle weight in my opinion.

[Apocollapse]

Its something like a big NO but it seem to make sense as well to which he added that he already have given Pereira the chance to get a belt even when he only beaten one top fighter such as Sean Strickland.

That's an easy for Pereira to accomplish it, Sean Strickland do have a heart and he will try to his best even though he was forced to fight with an another fighter because of sudden replacement, just like how his last fought against Imavov.

But I heard Pereira will move to the next weight rather than fight with Adesanya again.
