Alex Pereira, known as one of the top light heavyweight fighters, has brought up the possibility that former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya might have been dealing with an injury during his comeback at UFC 305. Pereira pointed out Adesanya’s limited use of kicks in his match against Dricus du Plessis, hinting that this could be a sign of an underlying injury. Adesanya headlined UFC 305 in Perth, Australia where he faced du Plessis and suffered his second consecutive loss. Pereira mentioned that Adesanya’s reduced reliance on kicks could be attributed to an injury, suggesting that the fighter from Nigeria and New Zealand might not have been in peak physical condition. Pereira stressed the importance of having a diverse range of attacks in fights, praising Adesanya’s effective inside kick and encouraging him to incorporate various techniques to keep opponents on their toes.
