Alex Pereira may simply be the guy that has Israel Adesanya’s number.
After defeating ‘The Last Stylebender’ on two separate occasions under the GLORY Kickboxing banner, Alex Pereira opted to follow Adesanya to Las Vegas, signing with the UFC and going on a 3-0 run before finding himself matched up once again with Adesanya. After their middleweight title main event was in the books, UFC fans were introduced to a new world champion and Israel Adesanya was left with that old familiar feeling. Pereira scored his fourth win inside the Octagon with a shocking fifth-round knockout to capture the 185-pound title at UFC 282 last month, leaving Adesanya and his fans devastated.
Talk of an immediate rematch is still ever-present, but some, including former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, are convinced that ‘Stylebender’ will never score a victory over Alex Pereira. In an interview with Helen Yee, Blachowicz said:
“I think that Alex Pereira is that guy that Izzy is never gonna beat. He lost against him three times, but he was close in this fight in MMA. So if he changes a little bit of the game plan…it’s hard to say.”

To be fair, Adesanya was cruising to a guaranteed unanimous decision victory, but with three minutes to go, Pereira kicked it into overdrive, knowing exactly what needed to happen. After a barrage of unanswered strikes that had the former champion reeling, referee Marc Goddard stepped in, calling for the stoppage and crowning a new middleweight king in the process.
Of course, Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz are no strangers to one another. The two squared off for the light heavyweight title at UFC 259 in March 2021. Blachowicz handed ‘Izzy’ his first defeat inside the Octagon, retaining his title in the process. ‘Polish Power’ would go on to lose that title seven months later to Glover Teixeira.
In a twist of fate, Jan Blachowicz will have the chance to become a two-time light heavyweight champion at UFC 282 on December 10th. With the title vacated by former champion Jiri Prochazka, Blachowicz will square off with No. 3 ranked contender Magomed Ankalaev to crown a new king of the 205-pound division.

Former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, explained that teammate, Alexander Volkanovski will hold his own in the wrestling exchanges with Islam Makhachev.
Volkanovski is set to move up to lightweight to face newly crowned champion Makhachev, in the main event of UFC 284. It will be a tall order for the Australian with many fearing for his chances against the grappling skills of Makhachev.
However, his teammate, Adesanya, claims that Volkanovski’s skills and experience will guide him through the matchup.
“Volk used to be a fat guy. Like, a big boy, brawley, played rugby. When you walk around with that kind of body mass for years, you develop a different kind of muscle density,” Adesanya said while on the FLAGRANT podcast. “Even with Volk, I’ve tried to hold him down. I’m not the greatest wrestler, but even with my frame and leverage, it’s hard. He finds his way back up. (He’s) a crafty veteran. His inside leg kick, his jabs, his hand control; all that sh*t, he’s crafty.”
Adesanya has so much confidence in his friend, he claimed that he could bet the whole house on Volkanovski to come out victorious, stating he is just simply ‘different’
“Islam is great,” Adesanya continued. “These Dagi boys, they know what they’re doing… But I truly, gun to my head, could bet my whole house on him. Volk is just different.
“Volk is the kind of guy — even when he cuts weight, the amount he cuts, for him to have the cardio he has in the later rounds… it’s mind-blowing. The man’s different.” (H/T BloodyElbow)
Makhachev and Volkanovski will do battle on February 12 in Perth, Australia in what will be a fight between the UFC’s number one and number two pound-for-pound fighters.
