Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya turned a new magazine on UFC 312 in Sydney.
UFC -Superstars Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya have a long history in and out of the cage. More than two fights in kickboxing and two fights in MMA, Pereira and Adesanya are more familiar with each other's styles than who they have confronted in their career.
Although a third fight between them in the UFC is unlikely, Pereira and Adesanya remain two of the biggest names on the Roster. Their career will always be linked to their most recent fight ending in a wild knockout on UFC 287 to give Adesanya his first career win on Pereira.
Now competing in different weight classes, things have cooled between Adesanya and Pereira and the two have become free of each other in the media. Pereira credits Adesanya because he is an important reason for his UFC success.
Pereira and Adesanya both went to UFC 312 in Sydney this weekend and were not only together at the same location, but were sitting side by side of fans. During their interactions during the combat evening, Pereira and Adesanya communicated via Pereira's coach Plinio Cruz, and an interesting moment stood out above the rest.

Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya have a meeting of the spirits at UFC 312
As shared by Adesanya on his Freestylebender YouTube channel, Pereira Adesanya invited to train together and to put their for many years of beef firmly in the past.
“Let's come together, let's let this partnership happen,” said Pereira. “I have a lot to show you, and you have a lot to show.”
Adesanya accepted the invitation with a 'Chama!' Proclamation before the two legends went their own way at UFC 312.
The invitation of Pereira only comes a few weeks after Adesanya has trained with another former rival, Robert Whittaker, for his UFC Saudi Arabia who returns earlier this month. Adesanya and Whittaker fought twice in their career with Adesanya getting the upper hand in both matchups.
Israël Adesanya could collaborate with Alex Pereira for UFC 313
If Adesanya and Pereira meet in the coming weeks, it will only come a few days before Pereira is planned to return to the Octagon on UFC 313. The UFC Light Heavyweight Champion will be confronted with Magomed Ankalaev, a rising candidate who has not fought a fight Since 2018.
After a knockout loss for Adesanya on UFC 287, Pereira chose to make the full-time switch to light heavyweight, a decision that led him to become a global superstar. He became the fastest to earn several UFC titles when he finished Jiří Procházka on UFC 295.
If their interaction is an indication of what is coming, Adesanya and Pereira could quickly work together. After having spent almost a full hour of fighting against each other in their combat sport career, it seems that their feud is buried in the tradition of every hunter.
