Israel Adesanya Backstage Pad Work

Israel Adesanya Backstage Pad Work UFC 281
Israel Adesanya is taking on Alex Periera
Israel Adesanya claims UFC 281 opponent Alex Pereira only a six on the ‘threat meter’
“There’s one thing he’s really good at. It’s that left hook and that’s what he catches many people with.”
Adesanya (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) has a decision and a knockout loss against Pereira (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in kickboxing. It’s a big reason why many were excited to see Pereira enter the UFC.

After just three undefeated UFC appearances from Pereira, the third meeting will take place under the bright lights of the storied Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 12.

But why did Adesanya choose to face him now?

“I’ve always picked the guy no one wants to fight,” Adesanya said during an interview on ESPN’s SportsCenter. “The guy everyone runs away from, I run towards. So yeah, I run towards the fire, and this is no different.

“After he beat me in Brazil, I never had any plans of trying to get revenge or anything like that because I don’t hold on to things, I let go of things. But again, I’m telling you, the universe has presented this to me and it’s right there. The perfect alley-oop, and I’m going to slam this b*tch.”

Everyone comparing mma guys to boxers should realize, in a real fight with no ref, no professional boxer is beating any professional mma guy who is within 40 pounds of his weight.

Izzy bad habit of turning his back & dropping his hands as he exits pressure eventually cost him. Never turn your back to your opponent, no matter how much athletic abilities you possess.🥊🥊🥊

Dude’s literally training his “technical” hit n run strategy all over again lmao 😂 I mean, not blaming him, that left hook already sent him to the shadowrealm.

[alony]

Até que ele tentou . Por sorte não precisou do oxigênio de novo 😂😂😂😂😂

[Fearian]

I’m pretty sure he’s not gonna put his hands so low this time. One shot from Periera would send him his favorite ACGN.
