Okay, so today I decided to dive deep into this whole Adesanya vs. Pereira rivalry. I’ve been seeing highlights all over my feeds, and I figured it was time to really understand what’s up.
Getting Started
First, I just started by watching some of their older fights. I mean, you gotta go back to the beginning, right? I pulled up YouTube and searched for their kickboxing matches in Glory. Man, those were some intense battles! You can really see the bad blood even back then.
- Watched Adesanya vs Pereira 1.
- Checked out Adesanya vs Pereira 2.
It gave me a better sense that they were kickboxing. The rivalry atmosphere made me excited, and my friend told me that they would have a match in UFC, and I was very much looking forward to it.
Digging into the UFC Fights
Then I had to study that first UFC fight, where Pereira took the title. I mean, Adesanya was winning most of that fight, and then BAM! Got caught. I watched that fight like three times, rewinding the last round over and over. I wanted to see exactly what happened. It was a lot to behold at the time.
The Rematch
Finally, I watched their most recent fight, the rematch. The one where Adesanya got his revenge. Holy cow! The tension, the build-up, and then that knockout! I literally jumped out of my chair. I replayed it multiple times.
In order to more clearly capture the details of the punches, I used slow motion to record the details of that match.
Final Thoughts, for Now
After spending the whole day on this, I feel like I’ve got a much better handle on this rivalry. It’s not just about the wins and losses; it’s about the history, the styles, and the personalities. I’m definitely going to be keeping an eye on what these two do next.I am already looking forward to their next game!
