Israel Adesanya is a very dominant champion. The ferocious fighter has been undefeated in the UFC middleweight division since his debut in the UFC octagon. While Adesanya remains undefeated, fans believe that his undefeated streak may end if he is to face Alex Pereira. The fighter from Brazil holds victories over Adesanya and fans are eager to see a rematch in MMA rules. Recently, in an interview, Adesanya’s coach, Eugene Bareman, spoke about the same.

Bareman, in his interview, said, “For me, Na, …… I wasn’t involved in the fight, so I don’t really have some deep-seated need to go and like beat up Pereira because we lost. We had a natural career, and we lost fair and square.”

He added, “In those matches, that’s the life of a fighter. So I don’t have a deep-seated like need to go and fight Pereira and get revenge if that’s what you are saying. Maybe Israel does, but that’s a question for him. I don’t think he does. I don’t think it concerns him at all.”

“I think Pereira is just another fighter trying to make his way to the champion, who’s beat the champion in a completely different sport. I just don’t think Israel even thinks about it. I definitely don’t”
