While an incredible KO by Adesanya, I feel like Pereira was getting the better of the fight up until that point. It seems like playing possum was a last resort for Izzy. Who do you think would win the UFC trilogy?
Wasn't this his second KO loss? Pretty dumb statement, considering the wars he has had in kickboxing.
Has there ever been anything like the Israel Adesanya-Alex Pereira rivalry before? Where a rivalry has transcended two different combat sports? I know that Cro Cop fought Mark Hunt in kickboxing and mma, but it wasn't really a huge rivalry. I really can't think of anything that compares.
