Alex Pereira will defend his UFC middleweight title against long-term rival Israel Adesanya at UFC 287 tonight.
Tonight, “The Last Stylebender” will try to get back against Pereira for stealing his UFC middleweight title from him last year. Having already lost three times to “Poatan,” including their two meetings in the kickboxing ranks, he will try to overcome the odds in a quick rematch.
A victory for Pereira, meantime, will mark the culmination of his phenomenal climb in the UFC and consolidate his position in the division; but, if he is able to defeat Adesanya once more, he may decide to move up in weight.
