Alex Pereira was spotted sparring with his son. UFC fans believe he is ready for a fight with Adesanya.
Alex Pereira: A recent video posted on social media by former UFC fighter Alex Pereira has sparked speculation among UFC fans about a possible future bout between Pereira and Israel Adesanya. I caused it. The video shows Pereira sparring with his son, and some fans believe Pereira is training his son to eventually challenge Adesanya in the Octagon. I believed that it was.
This speculation is fueled by the long-standing rivalry between Pereira and Adesanya that began in the world of professional kickboxing and extended to the UFC.
Rivalry Between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya
The conflict between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya has been brewing for years. It all started when Pereira scored a knockout victory over Adesanya in his 2017 professional kickboxing match in Brazil.
This loss was a huge blow to Adesanya’s record and led to a heated exchange between the two fighters.
Adding fuel to the fire, Pereira’s son, who was present at the fight, openly mocked Adesanya’s knockout in the ring.
This incident further escalated hostilities between the two sides and laid the foundation for future conflict.
Their paths crossed again in the UFC when Adesanya won a rematch with Pereira at UFC 287 in Miami.
In a thrilling encounter, Adesanya won by scoring a second-round knockout, regaining the belt he lost to Pereira in a fifth-round TKO last November.
Adesanya’s recent loss of the middleweight title to Sean Strickland has changed the landscape of the weight class.
It would certainly add an interesting dimension to the rivalry if Pereira’s son does indeed follow in his father’s footsteps and enter the world of professional martial arts.
