UFC Fighters "Discuss" the Pereira & Adesanya connection..(Crazy)

Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya congratulated his longtime rival for winning a second UFC title, but also found humor in Alex Pereira bringing up his name during his post-fight interview.
Former UFC middleweight champion is still a betting favourite against Alex Pereira after Pereira returned to the limelight with a sensational knockout victory over Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295, seizing the coveted light heavyweight title. At UFC 295, Alex Pereira cemented his legacy as one of the most accomplished athletes in combat sports history. He knocked out Jiri Prochazka to claim the vacant light heavyweight title at UFC 295. Pereira now holds the distinction of winning 2 titles in 2 weight divisions in both GLORY and the UFC!
Alex Pereira is also the first and only fighter to hold multiple titles in two weight classes in GLORY history and now in the UFC !

Alex Pereira is an inspiration for everybody. He's a great guy. What he's doing in the history of combat sports is amazing. I like the fact that Kelvin Gastelum translated what he said correctly. That speech was so respectful and nice... Hope people understand the real warrior he is.

i translated word for word what he said in the call out check out: "well, I wanted... I never call anyone, but there's a fight that I think would be interesting for me, and I'm sure it would be interesting for everyone, he's a person who somehow encouraged me, when I was at a bar drinking, he in a video said that I would stay in a bar, but he rescued me, this guy also recently said that he would only return in 2027, and in the same way that he rescued me I would also like to rescue him because he is a talent and he can't stay all this time stopped, this guy is Adesanya.

as a brazilian, that's pretty much it. there is a bit of sarcasm in that "when i was i a bar drinking" cus he had already droped it in the past, but in a playful way. Alex's sepeech was really respectful and inspiring with a tiny bit of humor imo.

[@vikingsfan2218]

Izzy mocked Pereira by saying he would end up in a bar while Izzy was a world champion (probably while being aware of Pereira's struggles with severe alcoholism earlier in his life) He flopped around like a dead fish in front of Pereira's kids after knocking their father out unconscious just to rub it in their faces He posted no less than 50 memes and edits (over the course of weeks) to all his social medias after knocking out Pereira. At least on Izzy's end, it seems to a little bit more than a purely competitive rivalry. He's petty as hell

[@kuramobay2445]

Pereira is 36 and knows it will be hard finding motivation for fight camps when he's not facing his main rival. Pereira will soon discover that being a millionaire doesn't help with motivation either. Izzy should allow Pereira to clear out the LHW division and learn what it's like to stay motivated when not fighting your main rival. Pereira needs to meet his own Sean Strickland.

[@enmanuel1950]

That last part was meant as banter. I do think it wouldn't be wise for Izzy to take that fight at 205 but you can't deny it's a great opportunity. Maybe Pereira he just wants revenge or maybe he wants to repay Adesanya the early title shot he gave him. We don't know for sure.

Izzy was the happiest man alive, finally he won once after fourth attempt!!! And run 🏃 away from trilogy, then he run 🏃 away from sport and Ufc!!! Cause he know it that Alex will hunt him to break him apart!!! One way or another!!! Like when he trained strickland for Izzy fight!!! Strickland humiliates Izzy!!! And he run away!!! Alex was his nightmare from very very beginning!!! From Glory days!!! And then in Ufc and general life!!! He broke Izzy spirit and self believes!!! One year ago Izzy was saying confidently, i will be here 5 years more, he was chasing greatness 😂he tough that he’s in level of Anderson Silva!!! Cause he didn’t know what’s coming!!! He didn’t think in his dreams that Alex will come in Ufc!!! And he wasn’t happy and confident anymore!!! His worst nightmares become hash reality!!! Alex beat everyone on his way for the title shot with Izzy… Rest is a history!!! Alex, once again writing ✍️ history with Golden letters !!! Putting his name with all time legends in UFC, like he did in GLORY!!! He becomes double Champion in two divisions, middle weight and light heavyweight!!! Nobody in History of Ufc didn’t do that before him!!! Something what Izzy can just dream about!!! He tries, and he fails on the first step!!!And Izzy, at the end of the day, he predicts his own future”Drinking in the bar, saying, ooo, i beat this guy once!!! Watching Alex when he’s a Legend!!!

[@matheushenrique1395]

If you're not from a third world country the tireshops you have in mind are way different (it's the same for all the other jobs), envolving way less effort and way less work rhythm, it's not the same, the difference is basicly the tech, everything is manual here at these jobs (not to mention that these type of professions are not valued here like at some other countries), at least at the ones like where poatan used to work for, while in more developed countries people have a different equipement for every aspect of the job and ways to work safe and with no much repetitive movement, wich is good, everyone should have it, but maybe it's a bubble perspective to measure the difficult of it here by what you see where you live at, it's the same profession but not the same conditions.
