In early 2020, Israel Adesanya did countless interviews before he was set to defend his UFC Middleweight title. But in a particular interview with Sporting News Australia, Adesanya mentioned Alex Pereira and the feelings he had towards his rivalry with him. Pereira would later say that he found this interview randomly online. But after discovering it, he would watch it repeatedly. Eventually motivating him to stop his kickboxing career and resume his MMA one. #israeladesanya #alexpereira #shorts #ufc

This is what F*cked him & you Izzy fans over 😂
One of the best UFC moments! Pereira’s beast mode in the last round was majestic. So satisfying.
Alex is a man of commitment and sheer will .
Dude he’s got a much better name then izzy
Watching this rn while Pereria is champion and Izzy is sitting on his couch yelling "i beat that guy" 😂😂😂
Come to daddy
This might be the coldest story ever in fighting sport history 🥶
Lol no one knows who he is! 😂 this makes me laugh. He really thinks that everyone in the world knows him and that he is a household name😂😂😂. That's how stupid that guys is absolutely a fool. The only people that know you are people that watch ufc fool. That guy is so full of himself
Maybe if you watched more of his fights you’d loose too him less often 😅
One thing i dont like abt this dude is he talks too much .. not humble at all until he lost the belt to him. no who is the one on the canvas !!!
Alex is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will
IMAGINE IZZY NEVER SAY SHITT ABOUT IT, MAYBE PEREIRA STAY ON THE BAR. AND IZZY NEVER RESET HIS CHAMP😂
I hope someone makes a documentary or a movie out of their rivalry.
Now izzy is the “I beat that guy once” cringetard after losing 3 in a row 💀
That interview spurred him on to become a two division champion. ❤
Izzy Literally sat there watching him fight Jiri and when Alex called him out he said I hear that guy one time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Izzy gone be at the pub “yeah I knocked that guy out once” 😂
If Izzy Would've Just Kept His Mouth Shut He Would Still Been Champion 😂
This genuinely brought a smile to my face 😂
They are both each other's arch nemesis.
Now izzy is saying "I beat that guy one time"
Since then Alex beat him for the middleweight title, beat Jan who took adesanya’s 0, became double champ which Izzy failed at after knocking out Jiri, while adesanya lost the belt to Strickland. Now Izzy is out here getting a DUI and saying “I beat that guy one time”
U can not write that S…., or u can but wouldnt believe it. How fast he came on top, that is amazing.
