Israel Adesanya Predicts Blachowicz vs Pereira

The reigning UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, shared his opinion about the debut fight of Alex Pereira in the light heavyweight category, in which the Brazilian will face Pole Jan Blachowicz.

“I think Ian will translate it and just smash it on the ground,” said the Nigerian in a video posted on his YouTube channel. “Ian will stand with him for a while, but in the end he will push him to the net and transfer him in the same way as he transferred me. I don’t think he will throw himself at the feet – he will do everything at the net. ”

Adesanya does not hide the fact that two years ago Blachowicz surprised him with his tactics, which ensured his victory in the super fight.

“I can’t say that I was very upset because at times I managed to hit him, but he definitely earned my respect. I thought that he would fight in his usual style, but he did everything flawlessly and transferred me. Yes, Blachowicz can miss on the rendezvous, but what happens if he transfers Alex and can keep? This is an interesting question, and we have to see it all.”

Recall that the light heavyweight fight between Blachowicz and Pereira will be the second most important event of the UFC 291 tournament, which will be held July 29 in Salt Lake City.
