Daniel Cormier questions if Israel Adesanya will be able to withstand Alex Pereira’s power at UFC 287.
Adesanya, who was knocked out by Pereira at UFC 281, will look to reclaim his middleweight title from “Poatan” when the pair run things back in Saturday’s UFC 287 headliner at Miami-Dade Arena in Miami. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) was able to rock and almost finish Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) at the end of Round 1 in their UFC 281 title fight, but Pereira survived. Not only did he survive, but he rallied from being down 3-1 on the judges’ scorecards to finish Adesanya late in Round 5.
