Israel Adesanya Thinks Alex Pereira Will Gas Out In Their Fight
A lot is on the line in this UFC 281 main event, UFC gold, money, and pride. Adesanya thinks he knows how the bout will play out and how he will handle the game plan from Pereira.
“I honestly think within the first five minutes, within the first round, even within the first three minutes – with the pace we’re gonna [bring] – I think it’s gonna be a high pace,” he said via The Allstar. “He’s not gonna be able to keep that high pace. In the first round, you’re gonna see him start to fold – he’s not gonna be able to keep that high pace. I know the kinda pace I can [bring].
The first two times these men met each other were in the kickboxing ring. Pereira holds two wins over Adesanya in that sport but now they meet in the Octagon and things could be very different.
