Adesanya did what he had to do, he played this fight much more actively, and did not allow Pereira to dominate. It is impossible to say about any big advantage of any of the fighters, the fight was close, but Adesanya had much more desire to win back. He had confidence that he could do it, however, in the first fight, he made a mistake at the end of the fight, this time he did not give Pereira any advantage and acted very actively.
Pereira made a mistake at the end of the second half, he was carried away by the attack, he decided that Adesanya could be crushed by pressing, but it is clear that there was a good work done on the mistakes, and Izzy was waiting for the right moment to make a good shot. Congratulations to Adesanya, I liked the fight!
For me Israel Adesanya fought this fight more cleverly than Alex Pereira, I think Alex Pereira did the same thing which is already seen by Israel Adesanya, and for this, I think Israel Adesanya sure has many tactics that have been ready to be shown on the fight I think there is always a wrestling game that he didn't use I think he is keeping that as a last resort, but this is pretty much clever if you look closer and watch the video when Adesanya was near the fence because this will surely be effective in those thigh corners which is in the fence, Adesanya was pretty much watching Pereira in anticipation in what he will do waiting for that Left hook and for that right timing he unleashed his right hook anticipating the left hook blocking it at the same time, that was truly a wonderful fight and Pereira was shocked and frozen for another right punch that is why it is befitting to be called frozen like Elsa,
He said in the post-interview that Pereira would have to do that hard work to get the rematch. Explaining that he did get the quick rematch because he had the belt for a long time and had defended it many times. Pereira would indeed have to fight the tough guys who might just easily defeat him like Whittaker.
But I think they should get another rematch while fans like it. More fights more money for them and I think its Dana's decision.
yup! He surely said that and I think Alex Pereira needs to work his way up the hard way just like what Israel Adesanya did and show the MMA community that he really deserves another shot at the Middleweight belt, but Dana White is surely glad about the revenue and sales that this fight has catered that maybe he is willing to make another rematch between this two fighter even though Adesanya don't want that crap anymore if Dana White would say so maybe he can turn a blind eye just for the money, but let just wait and see, we all know that Dana White is only after the money,
No injuries for Adesanya but Pereira had a small finger injury before this fight, this is no excuse for losing this fight.
Oh man I was so wrong about this fight, but I am really happy Adesanya won in this KO fashion and I am 100% sure we are going to see this two guys fight again in future!
I had to rewatch main event again to see how Izzy controlled everything in second round, he lured Pereira and executed a great punch.
There is a lot of talk about future opponents and I see there is chance of getting in higher division for Pereira.
Great sporstmanship showed from both guys during and after fight, so I have to congratulate both of them for performance.
Who is next for Adesanya?
I was really happy that it ended up in a sportsmanship fashion because there is a lot of bad blood between these two and it really marks back when they are in Kickboxing, but I think it is all settled all those trash talks in the social media paid off to this revenued event and I think it is all just for the pay per view that Alex Pereira have done that,
