Alex Pereira wants to fight Israel AdesanyaIn December of last year, Israel Adesanya indicated a desire to challenge him inside the Octagon before his bout with Ertugrul Bayrak.
Adesanya is one of the best strikers in MMA, but in kickboxing, he is similar to many other fighters in that he is good but over time didn’t improve, according to Pereira. He is but one of many.
“I don’t condemn Adesanya. I am aware that your striking will likely deteriorate a little bit in MMA because of the overall nature of the sport. My striking is definitely going to get a little worse when I join MMA, so maybe Adesanya experienced the same thing.
