As for Adesanya vs Pereira, yeah, I think Pereira gets the W again. He's just way bigger and stronger than Adesanya. And now knowing that he could stay in there and take Adesanya out when he tries to throw more volume makes me think that he's gonna try to throw more volume right off the bat and could give Adesanya more trouble.
Yeah, I think Pereira does. Whether it's just his kryptonite, Izzy just can't seem to do it. He dominated that fight right up until the end. So, I know Izzy is more than capable, and in fact at the end of the first or second round he actually rocked Alex pretty bad. If it wasn't the end of the round that could've been the end right there for Alex. Since, both of these fighters when in trouble stay standing, and don't actually dive for the legs. So, usually when they get rocked that's the end.
I know they say that 'size doesn't matter' about many things including a lot of match ups made in MMA, but I guess in this case, it def does matter. Pereira is a natural 205'er competing at 185 and Adesanya on the other hand was just shown that he'll get over powered whatever he does. I mean Adesanya did almost got Pereira out at the end of the first round but other than that Pereira was taking it and biding his time. And when he saw his opportunity, Adesanya couldn't do anything. Ref had to stop it.
And I fancy Pereira fighting at 205 for the belt this year... Going for the ole double champ status.
