Alex Pereira extends support to Israel Adesanya for upcoming fight

Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya might have one of the healthiest rivalries in UFC history. Adesanya (24-5) is scheduled to fight Joe Pyfer (15-3) in the main event at UFC Seattle on Saturday. Pereira recently posted a video of himself getting knocked out by Adesanya in their rematch at UFC 287 in 2023.

“Poatan” also wished Adesanya luck for his upcoming fight while expressing his gratitude for sharing the Octagon with him. ‘We Keep Evolving’ “Saturday is fight night once again,” Pereira wrote on Instagram while tagging Adesanya in the post. “Much respect to Israel Adesanya — we’ve shared the Octagon and moments that became part of my journey.

That loss taught me a lot; it pushed me to evolve not only as a fighter, but as a man. I grew, matured, and used it as fuel to reach a higher level in the sport and in life. Regardless of rivalry, I know what it means to step in there — the years of work, the pressure, the sacrifice.

That’s why I wish you a great fight. Go in focused and show your best. We keep evolving.
