Israel Adesanya will look to regain the UFC middleweight title from Alex Pereira this weekend, as the old rivals clash in the main event of UFC 287.
During their kickboxing careers, Pereira outpointed Adesanya in their first fight before knocking out the Nigerian-New Zealander in a rematch. The Brazilian then replicated the latter result in November, securing a TKO of Adesanya in their first meeting in MMA.
