Israel Adesanya has laid out of his exact terms for a third UFC meeting with his long-time kickboxing rival Alex Pereira after knocking the Brazilian out earlier this year.
Adesanya and Pereira have an historic rivalry that dates back to two kickboxing matches before their respective MMA careers, and they have eached stopped each other in the UFC's octagon. But after the New Zealand fighter won their rematch earlier this year, calls for the trilogy have been weirdly muted within the company.
Boss Dana White has already begun to push for different challenges, while Pereira has confirmed that he has no interest in fighting again at middleweight after a number of gruelling cuts to make 185lb. But Adesanya would be willing to do it, assuming a few key conditions were met.
