Pereira vs Adesanya 2 preview:

Pereira:

With a record of 4-0 in the UFC and 7-1-0 in mixed martial arts overall, this man has become a force to be reckoned with. He’s defending the World Middleweight Title and has the confidence of having beaten Adesanya twice, once in UFC and the second time in kickboxing, where he claimed the honor of being the only person ever to knock The Last Stylebender out.

Pereira is a hard hitter who likes to pace himself, get his opponent tired, and finally unleash lethal jabs and hooks as he looks for the killer blow.

Adesanya:

Prior to MMA, Adesanya had a successful kickboxing career where he was undefeated until meeting Pereira in the Glory Middleweight Championship, where he lost by unanimous decision. In his last kickboxing fight, he faced Pereira at Glory of Heroes 7, where the Brazilian again stopped him, winning by knockout after a short-left hook in the third.

Adesanya is known for his unique style, where he mocks his opponent. The Last Stylebender relies heavily on his kickboxing background. At 6′4, the Nigerian has an overwhelming reach, giving him an edge over almost all his opponents.

Pereira vs Adesanya 2 prediction:

At this point, Pereira knows how to fight against Adesanya. He is 3-0 against him overall, with a TKO and a knockout. He has been able to beat him at his own game. For the Nigerian, the best thing to do is take this fight to the end,pace himself, and avoid the flashiness and his desire to close this one in the first round. He should steer away from the hard punches of Pereira and not get worn out by him.

For this one, we predict that Pereira will win the fight by decision.
