Israel Adesanya will attempt to banish the ghosts of his past when he takes on bitter rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281.
The middleweight champion will put his belt on the line at Madison Square Garden on November 12 against surging challenger Pereira who defeated the Nigerian twice in kickboxing. Adesanya first lost a disputed decision to the Brazilian in 2016 before he was knocked out in the rematch 11 months later.
But he insists he will settle the rivalry once and for all, tweeting: "Vengeance is mine says the lord. Bro, I said the same thing too! This ends here. Kill or be killed."
