The UFC community was thrown into excitement when Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira unexpectedly crossed paths at an airport. The fact that these long-standing rivals keep running into each other seems almost uncanny. Following their brief encounter, Adesanya left a message for Pereira on his Instagram profile. The ongoing feud between Adesanya and Pereira has been a captivating aspect of the UFC. Stemming from their days in Glory Kickboxing, their rivalry has seamlessly transitioned into the realm of the world’s biggest MMA promotion.

Ever since ‘Stylebender’s recent victory at UFC 287, he has continued to taunt Alex Pereira through his social media. Additionally, Izzy never missed a chance to praise himself for taking revenge against ‘Poatan’ the fourth time they clashed. However, the funniest part is that the two rivals often bump into each other. Recently, after sharing some hilarious videos of them meeting unexpectedly at the airport, Adesanya continued to ponder the coincidence. His recent Instagram story is an example of the same.
