Israel Adesanya Responds to Fans Who Say He’s Making Excuses After Agreeing With Alex Pereira on UFC 305 Analysis
Meanwhile, Alex Pereira’s comments can be interpreted as a subtle insult towards Dricus du Plessis. By saying Adesanya was injured, Du Plessis inadvertently indicated that Du Plessis’s victory was a lesser one. Over the past few days, Alex Pereira has been engaged in a verbal spat with the middleweight champion. Following Du Plessis’ victory, Poatan stated that he wanted to cut weight and come down to the 185lbs.
Pereira also claimed that Dricus du Plessis was ‘scared’ of facing Pereira. On the contrary, Du Plessis threatened to move up to the light heavyweight division and strip Pereira of his title. However, amidst the uncanny back and forth, Sean Strickland commented that Pereira was not serious about his middleweight move.
Strickland analyzed that once a fighter goes up in weight, cutting down significantly becomes a pretty hazardous task. Thus, sitting pretty atop the light heavyweight division, it is unlikely for Alex Pereira to have a second run in the middleweight category. Thus, with the plot thickening, it remains to be seen what happens next.
