Israel Adesanya Backs Alex Pereira for White House Heavyweight Test

Adesanya praised the June 14 White House card as “stacked” and said, “I hope Alex wins,” reacting to Pereira’s interim heavyweight title fight with Ciryl Gane. The former rival noted Gane’s slick movement and knockout threat but said Pereira can end it too. The bout gives Pereira a shot at becoming a three-division UFC champion in UFC history.
