UFC Adesanya vs.

Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira one more time? Another fight between the longtime rivals seems unlikely given that Pereira is set to move to the light heavyweight division for an upcoming fight with Jan Blachowicz , while Adesanya awaits the next challenger for his middleweight title. Adesanya scored the first win of his four-fight series with Pereira at UFC this past April, finally vanquishing Pereira after a title fight loss at UFC and two previous kickboxing losses to the Brazilian striker. Though both seem content to move on from the series for now, Adesanya would entertain an MMA trilogy bout with Pereira if Pereira becomes champion in his new division.

Israel Adesanya 2 fight as they happen. That also meant he continued to be the boogeyman in the combat sports career of Israel Adesanya. But Adesanya will get one more chance at redemption as the two battle again for the UFC middleweight championship in the main event of UFC in Miami. Adesanya was in control of their first MMA fight five months ago, up rounds on the scorecards of the judges and many of the MMA media. But Pereira rocked him and finished him in the fifth round to earn the comeback finish and title. Prior to meeting in the Octagon, Pereira and Adesanya faced off twice in kickboxing. Their first meeting in ended with a decision win over Pereira. Their second fight in saw Adesanya knocked out so bad that he had to be stretchered out of the ring. After a first-round knockout in the LFA in , Pereira's UFC run prior to winning the middleweight gold saw him earn a second-round finish of Andreas Michailidis, beat Bruno Silva by decision and get a first-round knockout of Sean Strickland. His surging title run in helped earn Pereira several Fighter of the Year honors. Adesanya, who earned Fighter of the Year honors himself in , originally claimed the interim middleweight title with his highly-praised UFC win over Kelvin Gastelum before unifying the title with a knockout of Robert Whittaker. The co-main event will be a featured welterweight championship between former title challengers Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal. Burns has won two of three since his unsuccessful challenge of then-champion Kamaru Usman most recently submitting Neil Magny at UFC , and he's hoping a win here can land him an upcoming title shot. And for the hometown hero, this could be his last chance at making a push for a title shot.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is one of the most dominant forces in MMA today, but the Nigerian-born New Zealander will soon meet a challenge that many fans doubt he can topple: a fight with hulking Brazilian knockout artist Alex Pereira. It goes down in the main event of UFC this Saturday, with the Manhattan skyline for a backdrop, and it has captured the attention of the MMA community in a way that few other fights have this year. But it will not be the first time Adesanya and Pereira have met. The two middleweights twice clashed in the Glory kickboxing ring. Pereira won both times, first by unanimous decision in Shenzhen, China, in , then by knockout a year later in Sao Paulo, and many favor the Brazilian to do it again this Saturday. Of course, it's a totally different matchup under MMA rules.

NEW YORK -- Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler put on the type of wildly entertaining fight that fans have come to expect from each of them, and in doing so on the star-studded main card of UFC on Saturday night, they helped sort out the lightweight top Poirier was the winner, finishing with a rear-naked choke 2 minutes into Round 3. But getting there took work. For much of the fight, Poirier, who is No. The sixth-ranked Chandler took control from the start, aggressively moving in on Poirier with a nonstop flurry of wild punches. Poirier, meanwhile, appeared hesitant. He was maintaining distance to avoid damage but offering little in return. And eventually, Chandler did connect, and his two takedowns in the opening round put him in position to beat up his opponent on the canvas. But Poirier eventually got up, and he badly hurt a very tired Chandler late in the round. Had the round been 5 minutes and 10 seconds long, Chandler likely would not have made it to the horn.
