UFC free fight video: Alex Pereira wins title with TKO over rival Israel Adesanya

For years, Alex Pereira seemed to haunt Israel Adesanya.

It was one thing when Pereira did it in kickboxing. It was another when he followed Adesanya to MMA and finished him with punches to win the UFC middleweight title. The stoppage, which was later disputed by Adesanya, came at 2:01 of Round 5.

The victorious Pereira outing vs. Adesanya in MMA was in November 2022 at UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

While Adesanya ultimately got his long-awaited revenge with a brutal knockout five months later at UFC 287, Pereira’s name will always be one that held promotional gold.

Ahead of Pereira’s return at UFC 295 vs. Jiri Prochazka on Saturday, relive his successful MMA outing vs. Adesanya in the video above.
