Former UFC fighter and current commentator Michael Bisping has commented on the upcoming UFC middleweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya.
I think Pereira has vastly improved his defense against take-downs and submissions. AHe's an absolute force of nature, he hits so hard, and he's pushing himself to the limit. Basically, what I'm saying, I believe that Alex 'Poatan' Pereira gets the job done, once again. Now, granted, it's not a very confident bet.

The rematch between Pereira and Adesanya will take place on the night of April 9 at UFC 287.
Recall that the first mixed martial arts fight between Adesanya and Pereira took place in November 2022 at UFC 281. This fight ended with Alex's victory by TKO in the fifth round.
The 33-year-old Adesanya has 23 wins and two losses. Pereira, 35, has seven wins and one loss.
