It took four tries – two in kickboxing, one in MMA – but Israel Adesanya did it. He finally got the best of Alex Pereira . Adesanya reclaimed gold this past Saturday at UFC 287 in Miami, where he defeated Pereira with a vicious second-round knockout. Heading into the fight, Adesanya put a lot of pressure on himself to finally conquer Pereira, and his post-fight elation showed just how relieved he was to do it. For Adesanya, it really doesn’t get any bigger than scoring a win like that against your personal boogeyman to become the first two-time middleweight champ
