Pereira has a lot to say about Adesanya in the MMA fight. He appeared on “Super Lutas” and made it clear that he planned to force Adesanya into their fight (h/t Sportskeeda).
“I can tell you that it is impossible for him not to participate, if he is within my reach, I will hurt him. Five rounds …he won’t make it, five rounds? I’m close, you can see in my close fight, I have a good defense. He’ll want to attack or counter, but my defense can hurt him too.

“I saw in his fights that he kicked a lot of people who didn’t have the right time, didn’t have the right time to block, you can use the block to hurt him. The guy kicked, you blocked, maybe he won’t kick anymore. He has a big weapon, I can kill it early, I will get close to him, if he doesn’t hit me he will get hit, if he hits me he will be as tired as I am. “
