Israel Adesanya has been mocked for "holding a grudge on five-year-olds" after teasing Alex Pereira's son at UFC 287.
Adesanya, 33, won back his UFC middleweight title by brutally knocking out Pereira in their rematch earlier this month. It marked the fourth time the rivals had fought in all disciplines, with Adesanya finally getting a win against the Brazilian after previously going 0-3 against him.
After their second kickboxing fight in 2017, Pereira's then five-year-old son mocked Adesanya just moments after he was knocked out by imitating him falling to the floor. Adesanya gave Pereira's son a taste of his own medicine in their latest fight, performing the same gesture in the cage to Pereira's son who was cageside to watch his dad be knocked out.
