New Zealand UFC fighter Israel Adesanya explained his look at the press conference before the rematch with the league's middleweight champion Alex Pereira, which will take place on the night of April 9 at UFC 287. Recall that Israel came to the event wearing a dog collar.
Israel Adesanya
I'm a dog. It's a dog collar, and it's about to be unleashed. I would say his ability to recover and his fighting spirit is something he definitely surprised me with. But on Sunday, the talks will come to an end, and I'll show him my fighting spirit.
Adesanya and Pereira first met in the Octagon in November 2022 at UFC 281. The fight, which was stopped in the fifth round, ended in Alex's favor by TKO. He has seven wins and one loss on his record. Israel has 23 wins and two losses on his record.
