Opinion: Why I’m happy Alex Pereira beat Israel Adesanya via LevPisarsky
enjoyed success against Pereira by wrestling with him. Again, absolutely none of that mattered. Accolades, legacies, and placement on all-time lists didn’t mean anything when Pereira stepped into the cage with Adesanya. Yet, this concept of status effected people’s perceptions of the fight. Virtually all the active fighters polled chose Adesanya to win and to do so comfortably.
So what did actually matter? Mostly, it was Pereira and Adesanya’s relative striking. Despite all the talk about how much the champion had improved since the two competed in kickboxing, or how their first fight should have been judged for Adesanya, or that the challenger got lucky in the rematch, Pereira was 2-0 against Adesanya in kickboxing and had proven himself at least as good a striker, if not better. After that,.
Feel free to wax poetic about legacy, big victories, winning streaks and title defenses when discussing all-time Top 10 lists, “greatness” or various other amusing, ephemeral qualities solely meant to entertain fans. Just remember none of that means anything in a fight.
