“I know what I have to do,” Adesanya said in a video posted on his YouTube channel. “If you can bleed him, you can kill him. This time I want to give him a bloodbath. Like, I get up, and he’s all red from my elbows. I’ll just pound it into the meat. I go hunting, in every sense of the word, and I think completely differently. ”
Last November, Alex Pereira took the championship belt from Israel Adesanya with a fifth-round TKO finish on the Nigerian, and a middleweight title rematch on April 8 will headline UFC 287 in Miami.
In the past, the Brazilian defeated Adesanya twice in kickbixing fights, and once sent his opponent to a deaf knockout.
