Israel Adesanya finds it hard to pick against Alex Pereira at UFC 307.
Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) defends his light heavyweight title against Khalil Rountree (14-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at Delta Center in Salt Lake City (pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).
Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) knows firsthand how good Pereira is. The pair fought four times – twice in kickboxing and twice in MMA, with Adesanya finally getting his hand raised by knockout at UFC 287. Although Adesanya has picked against Pereira multiple times before, he thinks Rountree’s approach won’t find too much success against “Poatan.”
