Israel Adesanya's trainer helped the UFC champion bring back "old things" to secure his revenge win over Alex Pereira.
Adesanya returned to the throne in the UFC middleweight division earlier this month after getting his revenge in an immediate rematch with Pereira in Miami. The Nigerian star recorded a highlight-reel KO after being backed up against the fence, to finally get his first win over 'Poatan' having lose to the Brazilian three times including twice in the professional kickboxing ranks.
Prior to his recent outings against Pereira, 'The Last Stylebender' had come under fire for his lacklustre performances which saw him fail to stop his opponents in several defences. However after securing redemption with a statement win, trainer Eugene Bareman suggested it took a new approach to overcome his recent struggles in the octagon.
