Alex Pereira mocks "easy" Israel Adesanya training footage with hoverboard trick

Alex Pereira has mocked UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for his "easy" tennis ball training footage by sparring whilst balancing on a hoverboard.

Pereira, 35, looks to become the first man to beat Adesanya at 185lb in the UFC when they fight on November 12 at Madison Square Garden.

The Brazilian has already beaten Adesanya twice in kickboxing, winning a controversial decision in 2016 before knocking him out in their rematch the following year. Pereira is fighting for a UFC title after just three fights in the promotion, earning himself a shot by knocking out Sean Strickland on the undercard of Adesanya's latest title defence in July.
