Gruelling new training footage shows Israel Adesanya deliver horror movie promise as he recreates 'game over' scene from SAW ahead of UFC 281

Israel Adesanya recently sent out a warning to Alex Pereira ahead of their upcoming middleweight title clash at UFC 281.

In a video on his FREESTYLEBENDER channel on YouTube, the middleweight champ could be seen training intensely for his upcoming fight against "Poatan." Towards the end of the video, Adesanya recreated the iconic scene from the horror film SAW to imply that it was 'game over' for his Brazilian opponent once the two collide inside the octagon.

Reciting one of the most renowned dialogs in the film, Israel Adesanya said:

"Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. But not anymore."

You can check out Adesanya recreating the scene from SAW below:

The Nigerian-born Kiwi will face the Brazilian in the main event of UFC 281 for the middleweight title. The event will take place on November 12th at New York City's Madison Square Garden.

"The Last Stylebender" steps into the octagon to face the only man who has ever knocked him out. The Nigerian-born Kiwi, however, is unfazed. It will now be interesting to see if the middleweight kingpin can settle his scores with his Glory rival while successfully defending his title for the sixth time.
