Days After Announcing His Light Heavyweight Move, Alex Pereira Hints at a Third Possible Bout Against Arch Nemesis Israel Adesanya

Israel Adesanya has not taken a break from trolling Alex Pereira since beating him at UFC 287. He has constantly been sharing memes about the fight that ended with an impressive knockout. ‘Poatan’ did respond to one of his memes. But now, it seems like both fighters are trying to promote another fight against each other.

UFC 287 was the biggest win of his entire career, having faced defeat three times against Alex Pereira across two combat sports disciplines. However, will they fight once again?

Israel Adesanya won’t stop making fun of Alex Pereira

‘The Last Stylebender’ is relishing every bit of his impressive win against ‘Poatan’. He has been actively sharing memes of the aftermath of his knocking out Pereira on social media. From showing the highlights from the moment of his knockout to posting a picture of the Brazilian’s knocked-out body with a crime-scene backdrop, Adesanya isn’t holding back.

He posted yet another meme to troll Alex Pereira on Twitter. Adesanya shared a video where ‘Poatan’ performs his signature ‘bow-and-arrow’ celebration from the UFC 287 main event, and then the very next moment, the video shows Pereira getting knocked out. Adesanya captioned the tweet, “Nek minnit,” indicating that he proved the Brazilian wrong. However, the former middleweight champion swiftly responded to Adesanya’s trolls.

‘Poatan’ is clamoring for the trilogy fight

Alex Pereira had enough of Adesanya’s trolls and responded to one of his memes earlier. He reminded the Kiwi fighter that he will never be able to beat him in kickboxing, with three losses under his belt. But he respects his MMA skills and urged him to show his fans who the real number one fighter is when it comes to both of them. It is clear that ‘Poatan’ is not done with Israel Adesanya.

After ‘Izzy’ dropped yet another meme about his former opponent, Pereira started believing that he might be trying to promote their trilogy fight in the future. He shared a tweet and wrote, “Seems like [Israel Adesanya] is promoting a third fight. I like this idea. Let’s go [UFC] [Dana White].” Pereira is urging Dana White and the UFC to book the fight so that they can finish the story.

Adesanya had previously shut down the idea of fighting Alex Pereira for a third time. ‘Poatan’ mentioned that he was planning to move up to the light heavyweight division. But given that their rivalry was one of the best things about the UFC recently, there is a probability that Dana White could make that fight happen.
