Israel Adesanya has vowed to turn his potential UFC title rematch with Alex Pereira into a "bloodbath".
'The Last Stylebender' was defending his UFC middleweight crown against Pereira at UFC 281, but came up short after being stopped in the final round in New York. It was the third time Adesanya had lost to 'Poatan' during his fighting career, having suffered two defeats during their stint in kickboxing.
It is expected Adesanya will now receive an immediate shot at redemption in 2023, with both men open to a second meeting. And the former champion intends to capitalise on his latest opportunity, and plans to beat his opponent for the entire 25 minute fight duration.
