On Saturday November 12, dominant middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his belt and his honor on the line when he clashes with rival Alex Pereira.
Ahead of the highly anticipated bout, Izzy comes with a prediction of how it will turn out, and if you’re to believe the champion, it will not be pretty.
”I want to make this a horror movie.” Adesanya recently told TMZ Sports.
“I want to be the first person he sees when he wakes up. I want to make sure I’m right in his line of sight so when he wakes up, he’s looking at me and then looking at the ref. I want to be the first person he sees when he wakes up. That’s how I see this fight going.”
