Pereira calls out Adesanya
Pereira after the fight stated he wants to take on Adesanya for the third time.
He said, “I know that I’m not going to do what he did to me to and make me fight three times to fight him at middleweight.

After losing the title to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in September, Adesanya has been on a break from the sport.
