On Saturday night, Israel Adesanya knocked out Alex Pereira and won the middleweight championship at UFC 287. The victory was sweet revenge for Adesanya, as the fighter had lost three straight fights vs. Pereira across two different combat sports.
After Pereira’s second kickboxing win over Adesanya in 2017, his son celebrated by mocking a knockout in the ring next to Adesanya after the match. Well, Adesanya did not forget that.
After his win on Saturday, Adesanya made a sleeping gesture at Pereira’s kid, to make sure he knew that he knocked his dad out.
