Just last year, he was knocked out in round five of a fight he was winning at UFC 281, which was the middleweight duo’s first meeting in MMA. Before the clash, Pereira ended Adesanyas 12-fight kickboxing win streak with a controversial unanimous decision victory that led to a rematch. A year later, Pereira put Adesnaya out cold on the canvas and he later required oxygen as he struggled to instantly regain consciousness. Adesanya in post-fight, said: I told him before, Thank you for all that youve done. Thank you for beating me because [by] beating me he made me a better fighter, a better person. In this camp, I didnt f*** around. If you know me, you know I like a vacation but I didnt f*** around, I stayed on the grind. Ive been putting myself through it, you can see it on FREESTYLEBENDER on YouTube. I dont put my highlights on [Instagram], I put in work. I get tired so that when I get in here, I dont get tired. The win over Pereira is Adesanyas 24th in his career in mixed martial arts (MMA).
