Israel Adesanya: “ I’m ready to die!” Alex Pereira: “ I’m ready to kill!”

[@lukemurray4950]

Everyone is ready to kill. But I have no doubt Alex is willing to die too.

[@someanonymouslyrandomguy1134]

Yup.. difference between the tactician and the berserker

[@waquaraminwani7501]

Tells about the mindset. Both more than willing to enter fire but different perspective, one is ready to die other one is ready to kill. Alex having edge

[@imma5761]

And then you figure out Izzy said that against Gastelum while Alex said that against Izzy. Huge difference

@James Sunderland how big are you? Glover and Pereira are both almost 230 lbs. That’s much different than a 150 lb guy picking up another 150 lb guy. Weight doesn’t scale the same, small guys are way stronger pound for pound.

Weird logic. You didn’t know anything, you made a prediction like everybody else did and it turned out correct. not like you had a magic crystal ball that could see the future…You were probably in shock when Alex was wobbled at the end of the first round He didn’t come out dancing or putting on a show because he was in war mode against a guy who’s on his level in kickboxing and has wins over him. It means he took it seriously more than all his previous fights not because he was scared or unconfident 😂 That’s how he wobbled Alex and nearly put him away and almost won a decision. Anyways I have Adesanya finishing him in this fight.
