Henry Cejudo thinks Alex Pereira is the man to end Israel Adesanya ’s middleweight championship reign. Adesanya (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) puts his title on the line against former kickboxing foe Pereira (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC 281 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Pereira already has beaten Adesanya twice in kickboxing . “Poatan” had a fast rise in MMA, starching top contender Sean Strickland with his patented left hook at UFC 276 to set up a third meeting with Adesanya. Cejudo thinks that, with Pereira’s success against Adesanya in kickboxing, there are ways he can capitalize on some of the tendencies he thinks could hurt the champ.
