I have unfinished business with Adesanya – Pereira

Former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira won his match by split decision in his light heavyweight debut at UFC 291 on Saturday but one name that remains attached to the kickboxing star is Nigerian-born fighter Israel Adesanya.

During the post-fight interview, the Brazilian made it his condition to accept a third fight against “The Last Stylebender.”

Even in his new weight class, Pereira continues to get questions about his rival Adesanya. The two men tied the score in April when Adesanya knocked out Pereira in the second round to claim the title.
