Alex Pereira explains how a few methods might help Robert Whittaker overcome Israel Adesanya in a potential trilogy

Following Israel Adesanya's victory over Alex Pereira at UFC 287, the middleweight champion is now seeking his next challenge. With top contenders Dricus Du Plessis and Robert Whittaker set to face off at UFC 290, there is a possibility that the winner could become Adesanya's next opponent, despite the champion calling out Du Plessis specifically.

Alex Pereira, who has beaten 'The Last Stylebender' three times, has shared his insights on how Robert Whittaker could overcome Adesanya in a potential trilogy fight. The former middleweight champion has pointed out some techniques that 'The Reaper' could use to gain an edge over Adesanya in their next fight. 'Poatan' remarked:

"But a third fight, I think Whittaker will be very dangerous, even more knowing that Adesanya, he loses. He is not an invincible guy, he loses. He already lost a few times, lost in kickboxing and I showed that in MMA. So for sure, this will give Whittaker confidence. I think he just has to do some adjustments. Just has to do some things there details, some techniques, a good kick defense if he improves this I am sure he will give a lot of work for Adesanya and can be the next champion.”
