Henry Cejudo can’t understand why Alex Pereira isn’t lobbying for a trilogy with Israel Adesanya.
After getting dethroned by Pereira at UFC 281, Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) exacted his revenge by scoring a knockout of his own to reclaim the middleweight belt in this past Saturday’s UFC 287 headliner in Miami.
Adesanya’s win tied their series at 1-1 in MMA, but Cejudo still thinks Pereira (7-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) has leverage having beaten him twice in kickboxing before.
