\u201cPeople pay expensive tickets and they want to stay until the last minute to see who\u2019s the champion and see him getting his hands raised. For people to act like that it\u2019s because it wasn\u2019t exciting.\u201d [h\/t mmafighting.com<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n Read More: \u2018They Threw Me in There to Basically Get Killed\u2019- Brian Ortega Gets Real About Almost Walking Away From MMA in 2015<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Pereira was also bitter about the fact that Israel Adesanya didn\u2019t give him props for his highlight-reel knockout of Sean Strickland. With the win, Pereira cemented himself as the next man in line to face \u2018The Last Stylebender\u2019 for his undisputed title.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, he\u2019d never give me props, but what he thinks or doesn\u2019t think doesn\u2019t change a thing to me,\u201d Pereira said. \u201cYou have to ask him if he was impressed when I knocked him out. Was he not impressed? If he wasn\u2019t, he\u2019s sick. If he was impressed in his own fight [at UFC 276], that\u2019s good enough to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Pereira clearly wants to make a statement against Izzy and is keen to go 3-0 against him in combat sports. It remains to be seen if Adesanya is more aggressive in the contest as he\u2019s going toe-to-toe with the only man to ever best him in the striking realm.<\/p>\n More UFC news:<\/p>\n \u201cOne Thing About Izzy That Is Absolutely Unique\u2026.\u201d- John McCarthy Reveals a Skill That Separates Israel Adesanya From the Rest of the Division<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/07\/alexa-1-scaled.jpg\")
