Currently on a three-fight winning streak in the Octagon, Pereira (6-1) scored wins over Sean Strickland, Bruno Silva and Andreas Michailidis in first three UFC outings. In fact, the 35-year-old’s last and sole mixed martial arts defeat took place in October 2015, when he got submitted by Quemuel Ottoni via rear-naked choke.
Now, Pereira is expected to take on Adesanya at UFC 281’s main event, on November 12. The card is scheduled to take place at the Madison Square Garden, in New York City. Additionally, a strawweight title fight between the champion Carla Esparza and former title-holder Weili Zhang is set to be the night’s co-main event.
