Alex Pereira refuses to pick against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305

Pereira shows respect to Adesanya

“They asked me about Adesanya and Du Plessis, I said I don’t see Adesanya losing. Just because he said that about me doesn’t mean I’ll say it back.”

“I’m here, supporting him, I already fought him, not going to say he should lose. I’m not mad at him, no grudges. Like I said if one day it’s possible to train with him.”

“[People claim] he’s this, he’s bad” and what not. The people who truly know him that I had contact with, talk good about him. [Adesanya] has a good heart, a lot of the times it’s just marketing. I believe that, I can see he is a good person.

“So that’s why I’m here, cheering for him. If he doesn’t cheer for me, that’s not my problem. But I’m here, cheering for him.”
