Alex Pereira mocked Israel Adesanya with one last trolling move at this week's UFC 287 media day in Miami, donning a Pikachu jacket to poke fun at his rival.
The middleweight duo will meet for the second time in the UFC octagon and fourth time across all disciplines tomorrow night, with Pereira unbeaten in their three fights including two vicious knockouts. And the usually stoic Brazilian offered a slight jab at his opponent at their press conference, making fun of Adesanya's love of cartoons.
Pereira had recently been gifted a series of Pokemon-related toys, as well as a denim jacket with Pikachu on the back of it. And he wore the top to the pair's promotional event on Wednesday in yet another poke at his long-time rival, who is known to be a massive fan of anime.
