Alex Pereira personally stopped his son mocking Israel Adesanya again after his previous KO win at UFC 281.
Pereira and Adesanya have enjoyed heated rivalry having now fought on four occasions including twice in kickboxing and now twice in the UFC. Most recently, the Nigerian won back his UFC middleweight title from 'Poatan' with a brutal second-round KO win which will likely put an end to their rivalry.
One of many things that has stoked up an already-heated rivalry was the actions of Pereira's son at his father's kickboxing KO win in 2017 where he mocked 'The Last Stylebender', by emulating him crumbling to the canvas. In Adesanya's first win over the Brazilian at the weekend, Adesanya found the ex-champion's son and copied his infamous action by falling to the floor.
