Israel Adesanya has vowed to "butcher" rival Alex Pereira in their UFC 287 title rematch this weekend.
'The Last Stylebender' will have a quick opportunity to avenge his defeat to Pereira last year when he meets his bitter rival in a UFC 287 rematch this weekend in Miami. Adesanya was stopped in the final round of their previous contest, but refused to sit on his laurels and re-entered training to begin his quest for redemption.
It is expected to be yet another huge ask for Adesanya who will be looking to win back his UFC middleweight crown, with the Nigerian having also twice lost to 'Poatan' during their time in kickboxing. However the 33-year-old has spoken with supreme confidence that he can inflict a violent performance on the new champion.
