Israel Adesanya Overthrows Alex Pereira by Knockout at UFC 287 to Win Middleweight Title

 


Israel Adesanya got back his middleweight title from Alex Pereira with a heavy knockout at UFC 287 in Miami, Florida. With his back against the cage, Adesanya knocked out Pereira with tigerish right hands at 4 minutes, 21 seconds of the second round in the main event of UFC 287 here at Kaseya Center. 

The victory avenges three previous defeats for Adesanya against Pereira. He lost twice in kickboxing in 2016 and 2017, and at UFC 281 in November. That most recent defeat inside the octagon saw Brazil's Pereira earn a stunning fifth-round knockout to win the title. "I hope every one of you can feel this level of happiness for one time in your life," said Nigeria-born New Zealander Adesanya.
"But guess what - you'll never feel this level of happiness if you don't go for something in your life. When they knock you down, if you stay down you will never get that resolve. "Fortify your mind and feel this level of happiness. I'm blessed to feel this again and again and again."
In the co-main event, Brazil's Gilbert Burns beat hometown favourite Jorge Masvidal by unanimous decision and then called for a title fight with British welterweight champion Leon Edwards. UFC president Dana White has previously said American Colby Covington is next for Edwards but a second successive win for the fifth-ranked Burns, 36, could put him in the title picture. "I am the only guy in the whole UFC who is willing to fight anyone at any time," said Burns.
