Joe Rogan says that this iconic Israel -Aadesanya -moment couldn't have played better.
From the kickboxing ring to the UFC Octagon, the former double UFC Middle Weight Champion have experienced some of the highest highlights of the sport and the lowest lows. Three of those lows were defeats for old rival Alex Pereira, the first hunter to beat him cold in 2017.
In the eyes of UFC commentator Joe Rogan, Pereira is the scariest kick boxer of all time for his wild Ko Power, who makes the latest performance of Adesanya all the more impressive.
Israël Adesanya crossed paths with 'Patan' a fourth time at UFC 287 in April 2023 and needs two rounds to close a seven -year rivalry. Adesanya was increased against Pereira's attacks by professionally combating in the bag to Ko Pereira in a devastating way.
