Israel Adesanya knocks out Alex Pereira to reclaim the UFC Middleweight Championship
Nigerian mixed martial artist, Israel Adesanya, has kn%cked out Brazilian Alex Pereira to reclaim the UFC Middleweight Championship title he lost last November.
The fight which held at the FTX Arena, Miami, USA on Saturday night, April 8, was the fourth fi¥ht between the pair, with Pereira b£ating Adesanya twice in kickboxing before following him into mixed martial arts, where he took Adesanya’s UFC title with a TKO in November.
But at the fourth time of asking, Adesanya finally b£at his long-time rival, freezing Pereira with a right hook in Round 2 before dropping the champion with another and finishing the fight with a hammer fist.
“This is a sweet sweet victory and you know I have a sweet tooth. The hunter is now the hunted,” Adesanya said during his post fight interview inside the octagon.
