There are just a few days left for the most awaited fight of UFC 287. The event will witness Alex Pereira locking horns with his longtime rival, Israel Adesanya for the second time in the UFC. As the bout gets closer, ‘Poatan’ is making sure that he doesn’t miss any chance to get under his opponent’s skin. He has once again made fun of Adesanya, and the video is already viral. Pereira surprised the UFC fans by reacting to the UFC 286 live reaction video of Adesanya. ‘Poatan’ made fun of ‘The Last Stlylebender’s’ anime collection and his reaction while the judges raised the hand of Leon Edwards.
The two throw jabs at each other quite often, making it obvious that their rivalry continues outside the octagon. In the promotion, ‘The Last Stylebender’ and ‘Poatan’ faced each other at UFC 281 for the first time. Even though Adesanya tried his best to outdo the Brazilian fighter, he was knocked out two minutes and one second into round five. At the moment, Pereira is trying to weaken his opponent psychologically before the actual fight inside the octagon. This time, fans can’t stop laughing at the hilarious video where the Brazilian is making fun of Adesanya’s resemblance to the character Zula from the movie “Conan the Destroyer” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
