Israel Adesanya Form
Israel Adesanya boasts a perfect 12-0 record as a UFC middleweight heading into the sixth defence of his title.
Adesanya unified the division in October 2019 when he knocked out Robert Whittaker in the second round,
In his first defence he bested Yoel Romero over five rounds, and then knocked out Paulo Costa in the second round to continue his reign.
‘The Last Stylebender’ briefly stepped up to light-heavyweight after that victory over Costa, but his bid to become a two-weight champion ended in failure.
Adesanya went the full five rounds with Jan Blachowicz but lost the fight on the judges’ scorecards.
The 33-year-old New Zealander moved back down to middleweight after that loss and immediately returned to his dominant ways by making three more successful title defences.
Adesanya beat Marvin Vettori, Robert Whittaker and Jared Cannonier to take his career record to 23-1, with 15 wins by KO/TKO and eight by decision.
Alex Pereira Form
Alex Pereira is fighting for the UFC middleweight title in only his eighth outing as an MMA fighter.
Pereira, who beat Adesanya twice in kickboxing, first ventured in to MMA in 2015 and lost his debut fight.
The 35-year-old was submitted by Quemuel Ottoni in the third round round of that fight.
He rebounded quickly to win his next two fights by stoppage, knocking out Marcelo Cruz and then Marcus Vinicius da Silveira.
It would be over four years before Pereira fought in MMA again, but when he did he made up for lost time.
The Brazilian fighter knocked out Thomas Powell inside one round to grab the attention of the UFC.
He has gone 3-0 since signing with promotion, sandwiching a decision win against Bruno Silva with stoppage wins against Andreas Michailidis and Sean Strickland.
