Prior to their UFC 281 championship match, Alex Pereira issued a not-so-subtle message to Israel Adesanya. On November 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Pereira will square off against Adesanya for the UFC middleweight championship. With only a few days left until the much-anticipated fight, Pereira seems to be attempting to offer fans a sneak peek at how he envisions the contest playing out. Pereira brutalized Adesanya with strikes in a video game simulation of a fight called UFC 4 that he shared on Instagram. The caption on his post said, “Even the video game already knows.”

Pereira appears to spoil the fact that he is about to be accidentally inserted into the video game by doing this. Bo Nickal and Raul Rosas Jr., two newbies to the UFC, have also been revealed as forthcoming additions to the EA Sports game. Pereira has two victories over the current UFC middleweight champion in kickboxing contests. In their first encounter, he prevailed against “The Last Stylebender” by decision, and in their rematch, the Kiwi of Nigerian ancestry was knocked out. However, they will engage in their debut MMA match at UFC 281.

When Adesanya fights Pereira later this month, he will try to make it his sixth time successfully defending his championship. But Adesanya claims that his major objective is to exact revenge on the powerful Brazilian for his defeats. Adesanya stated in a video of his vlog on YouTube: “What matters is that you eat him. such as the belt? Stupid belt. It’s important to just defeat him because he is a murderer.” The Last Stylebender further asserted that he reviewed his battles with Pereira again in order to analyze his mistakes. Adesanya promised to present a new side of himself on fight night after saying that.
