Alex Pereira has already done the hard part, as he knocked out Israel Adesanya in 2017 in a now infamous Glory of Heroes kickboxing match.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 02: Alex Pereira of Brazil reacts to his win over Sean Strickland in a middleweight fight during the UFC 276 event at T-Mobile Arena on July 02, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The tough part for him is, he's going to have to do it again.
It was a reminder of the kind of violence he's capable of creating. He is one of the rare fighters in MMA with one-punch knockout power, and that will make him dangerous through a 25-minute championship match. Though Pereira won the first two fights against Adesanya, including the second by knockout, he's got to show he can do it again.
He's not some rube who is going to need to be told the rules before he makes the walk to the Octagon for his date with destiny with Adesanya. He had his first fight in MMA in 2015 and has been pointing to this moment for a while.
