Israel Adesanya says he was not 100 percent going into his title-fight rematch with Alex Pereira at UFC 287.
Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) revealed that he suffered a grade 1 MCL tear to his right knee just 13 days before he ran things back with Pereira (7-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) earlier this month in Miami. There also was some damage to his ankle, he said.
