NEW YORK – Alex Pereira believes he’s still got a score to settle with Israel Adesanya, plus he’s also got a favor to return.
The newly crowned UFC light heavyweight champion called for a trilogy bout against Adesanya after he defeated Jiri Prochazka in the main event of UFC 295 on Saturday. Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) stopped Prochazka (29-4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) by TKO in the second round of their fight for the vacant title.
