azilian fighter always came Victorious edging a Destiny on the scorecards once while brutally knocking him out the second time they met years later since they initially fought in kickboxing Israel adesenu became one of the most dominant UFC Champions thanks to his striking superiority and incredible high-level fighting IQ the Nigerian fighter went undefeated in the UFC for years and defended his belt five times leaving no doubt about who is the best UFC middleweight in the world as every great s

tory has an end at Destiny's old rival ruined his winning streak causing him his first loss in the division the two met in the Octagon on November 12 2022 and although Israel fought great pereira's power played a crucial role in that bout knocking The Champ out in the fifth round however while many believe that a Destiny is mentally broken considering that he lost to prayer and kickboxing twice and once in the UFC there is more than the eye can see the last style Bender will undoubtedly be victo

rious in the rematch and more than a few reasons indicate that inevitable outcome this video will discuss their initial encounters last fight and why Israel Destiny will surely win the rematch Israel Destiny vs Alex Pereira won in kickboxing although kickboxing is different than MMA it's still a combat sport where two athletes can display their striking skill wheels and the stand-up game overall the arch Rivals first clashed in April 2nd 2016 in a kickboxing match that was a pure display of high

-level skills and technique the first moment the fight started Pereira took the center of the ring and immediately went against a destiny aggressively the Brazilian appeared to be the more active fighter in the opening seconds but Israel quickly retaliated with low kicks on his own Alex continued being the aggressor while the Nigerian had the more reserved approach avoiding prayer as big punches while trying to counter him with good combinations Israel found success with this counter-offensive t

agging the Brazilian with Jabs as he slowed down a bit as the round went on Alex started the second round the same way as the first taking control of the ring and pressuring adesanya on his back foot however the Nigerian State composed and defended well before launching a counter-offensive on his own although Pereira threw some bombs most did not land since Israel's defense was always on point a destiny slowly started taking control of the fight Landing clean 1-2 combinations and mixing punching

with striking while switching stances the Brazilian appeared to slow down a bit and Israel took advantage of that by being the aggressor pressuring his rival against the robes while Landing beautiful combinations prayerify back and caught at Destiny with heavy combinations but the Nigerian did not even Flinch as the third round went on a destiny displayed beautiful footwork tagging Alex with combinations while moving away from his attempted power shots Israel who appeared to be the fresher figh

ter went after his rival aggressively Landing clean but that only angered the Brazilian who retaliated with powerful shots that landed clean swinging like that came at a cost for Alex who seemed tired as the third round went on adesanya used that opportunity to tag his opponent with good combinations and counter-strikes each time Pereira threw powerful punches Israel retaliated with beautiful combos the third round was clearly in favor of a destiny this was a very close fight that could have bee

n scored either way while a Destiny was the better technical fighter with more significant strikes Pereira landed the more powerful shots however the judges scored 29-28 in favor of Pereira a decision that is disputed by many this controversial decision was an overture to a kickboxing rematch to settle the score and determine who was the better kickboxer of the two what really happened in the kickboxing bouts first of all judging by the fights it must be acknowledged that Alex Pereira and Israel

adesanya are both striking Wizards and nobody in the UFC comes even close to what they can do on their feet although odessania lost twice in kickboxing including the devastating knockout loss when they met the second time none of those losses mean anything regarding MMA they delivered a fascinating and close fight the first time they fought and the judges could have scored it either way while a destiny landed more strikes and was slightly the better technical fighter Pereira landed bombs that t

he judges saw as essential to scoring Alex's favor the second time they fought Israel made some crucial adjustments that gave him an advantage over the whole fight until the infamous left hook in the third round that shot at Destiny's lights off although the Brazilian won both bouts he wasn't dominating any of them the only problem here was that Alex had that nuclear button that could activate any time doesn't matter if he is losing a fight because all it takes is landing his Infamous left hook

once but the question is can he always rely on Power and his left hook especially in their UFC rematch let's take a closer look at the powerful left hook that every middleweight competitor in the UFC so fears the left hook from hell this punch is arguably the most terrifying punch in the whole UFC it merits crocop's Infamous left high kick at the pride FC days and so far has been a puzzle that nobody in the UFC in kickboxing could solve even though Pereira is an orthodox fighter his left hook ap

pears to have the most power of all the other punches he throws but the question is how can Alex generate so much power in that left hook that knocks out a destiny Sean Strickland and many other Elite kickboxers let's not forget that Pereira has indigenous ancestry from the pataho tribe and he grew up practicing archery shooting with bow and arrow when you practice archery from a very early age you can develop different kinds of muscles in your shoulders and arms that no Jim could do naturally a

rchery develops your arm and back muscles in a way that is impossible to create in any other way at the same time Alex Pereira worked in a tire repair shop before he reached Fame which could also develop unnatural strength in his arms none of these factors have proven to be correct but what's for sure is that Pereira possesses unreal power in his left hook that can knock out an elephant every every competitor knows how to throw a left hook but Nobody Does it Like Pereira if practicing archery an

d changing tires are not the objective factors that leads to why prayer is left Hook is so deadly the short answer is a masterful technique Alex drops his back foot lowers his level before he throws just enough to launch himself and finds a perfect moment to rotate his body the other way all these little factors are responsible for why Pereira can generate so much power in his left hook which seems to be the most notorious punch in all Combat Sports right now but then again would this Infamous p

unch always work especially against someone like a destiny who has been practicing how to defend against it for months before we answer that question let's take a closer look at their third fight and see what really happened Alex Pereira vs a destiny 1 in MMA a lot of things have changed since these two initially met in kickboxing over the years a destiny became one of the best martial artist of our time and with that one of the best middleweight champions in UFC history he became a better more

developed version of himself improved greatly especially in MMA and was ready to face his old rival in the Octagon leading to the bout a destiny stated that the two losses were a long time ago in kickboxing that MMA is a different game and he was ready to prove that in the Octagon Pereira entered the bout with a jumping front kick indicating that he would be the aggressor in this fight it was interesting to see if these striking Elites would shoot for a takedown both Fighters were very cautious

respecting each other's power especially now with the MMA gloves considering that one punch can change the whole fight Alex attacked Izzy's legs from a distance and adesanya was looking for an opportunity to counter his attacks unlike their kickboxing fights where Pereira was very active and aggressive he seemed rather composed and relaxed now Israel's big moment came when he managed to counter Alex with a beautiful one-two combination now when Izzy tagged him Alex became even more cautious with

his attacks still as the round entered the last minute Pereira went aggressively after a destiny throwing jumping knee and left hooks but none landed clean at one point a destiny got Alex in a body lock but he couldn't take him down Pereira was chasing a destiny trying to close the distance and win the round in the closing seconds but that backfired when Izzy landed a huge right and stumbled the Challenger that was the heaviest punch in the whole round that trumped everything Pereira did until

then if it weren't for the Bell the Brazilian would have been in lots of trouble considering how hurt he was after the punch the judges scored the first round in favor of Odessa now more confident Israel entered the second round delivering a heavy low kick to pereira's lead leg the Brazilian knew he had lost the first round and entered the second one pressuring a destiny Against the Cage looking for that big left hook that could turn the tables however a destiny has used his defensive style in a

ll his previous fights and knows how to defend well although Pereira was throwing combinations nothing could land clean while Izzy kept taking the Brazilian with Jabs while moving away but then out of nowhere a powerful jab by Pereira wobbled the champion and he kept using a jab to tag Israel as he went into defensive mode this only indicated how much power Pereira has it was only a jab and just like that a destiny wobbled nevertheless the Nigerians survived the storm got Alex to a clench positi

on from where he landed a few good shots and then retaliated with a big right on his own knowing that the jab hurt a destiny just moments ago the Brazilian kept using it a lot and landed clean again although this jab did not hurt Izzy as the first time it clearly got his attention despite being the smaller guy Israel clinched with Alex trying to take him down but after after they broke the clinch the Brazilian landed a substantial high kick that stumbled the champion again he chased the Nigerian

against the cage and scored a takedown in the closing seconds of the round the judges scored that round in favor of Pereira as the fight went on Izzy's MMA experience started to play a factor and he proved that in the third round when he took his rival down after the Brazilian missed with a combination the Challenger tried to get up but a destiny took him back down again throwing heavy ground and pound strikes by controlling the ground wrist Izzy displayed a beautiful technique indicating how m

uch he had improved in MMA Izzy got one hook in while holding the wrist Minor Adjustments that allowed Izzy to control Pereira on the ground while maintaining control Israel kept Landing heavy strikes to Alex's head and the Brazilian kept trying to get to his feet that technique not only allowed the Nigerian to control the fight but also exhausted Pereira Alex kept trying to get up but Izzy followed his every move and welcomed him back to the can this again eventually they got to a guard positio

n and although Alex threatened with elbows Izzy landed significant ground and pound strikes it doesn't yet ended it heavy and was the Undisputed winner of that round Izzy entered the fourth round as the fresher fighter and he made that apparent when he landed a nice jab and later a big right straight a Destiny was badly hurt and was trying to survive the storm entering fully in defensive mode however the powerful Brazilian kept attacking Izzy as a man possessed delivering heavy strikes to the he

ad that forced the referee to stop the fight just like that Alex Pereira became the new middleweight champion of the world although it seems that Alex Pereira is Izzy's Kryptonite considering that he already beat him three times in the past that is far from the truth and a destiny should be the clear winner in their rematch and here's why why Israel Destiny will win this UFC 287. the first time they fought in kickboxing they delivered a very close fight that could have been scored either way pra

yer wasn't dominating that bout at all and many thought that Israel won that fight nevertheless that was a long time ago in kickboxing not to mention that a destiny had improved dramatically over the years the second time they met in kickboxing the Nigerian dominated that fight until the infamous left hook if it weren't for that one punch a destiny would have won that bout considering that the first fight was close one could have scored it in favor of a Destiny the second kickboxing match favore

d Izzy until he got knocked out none of those kickboxing bouts showed any indication that Izzy is an inferior kickboxer to Pereira both these contests could have gotten in his favor but luck played in favor of Pereira Izzy was the better technical fighter landed more shots his footwork was terrific and he was never outclassed in any of their initial two bouts when they met for a third time this time in the Octagon Israel was leading on the scorecards three to one until the terrifying left hook t

hat changed the course of the fight Izzy got caught but let's not forget that he dominated the fight until that point outclassing Pereira on the feet and winning the grappling exchanges odessania will win in the rematch because he will make the crucial adjustments to avoid pereira's power as especially the left hook this time the MMA experience will significantly influence Izzy's Victory the Nigerian will make significant improvements in his offensive wrestling he will mix wrestling with strikin

g and avoid Alex's powerful shots he will deliver a masterpiece performance potentially leading to a third MMA fight to settle the score while many believe that Izzy might be mentally broken due to his loss this is far from the truth he was defeated in MMA by the legendary polish power Jan blahovich and he only returned better than ever after that loss the Polish Fighters seemed to find the blueprint for defeating a destiny nevertheless a Nigerian fought Marvin vittori next and outclassed him in

every sense of the word despite the Italian being the superior wrestler he then fought Robert Whittaker next won a unanimous decision again and outclassed the new Rising Contender Jared Cannon near Izzy had proved that he takes losses as learning experiences and life like a Saiyan warrior returns stronger than ever the only thing a destiny needs to do differently to be Pereira in the rematch is to avoid the left hook by moving to his left and mixing his wrestling with striking Israel is a brill

iant fighter with one of the highest fighting IQs in the whole sport he knows what he needs to do and what adjustments to make to Edge his arch rival in the rematch when you compete at this level you can't rely on power only and if Izzy keeps his guard up Dodge is Alex's powerful attacks and plays his game as always he will undoubtedly be the winner in the rematch Destiny is mentally strong and won't be bothered by the defeat he has been on the losing side before and knows how to deal with it he

is the more technical Fighter outclassing the Brazilian in every previous bout before the power factor stepped in he fought better competition considering everything adesenia is the better martial artist overall and is willing to prove that in the rematch and what do you guys think do you believe Izzy would make the needed adjustments to beat his bitter rival in the rematch how do you think that fight would go leave your thoughts in the comments subscribe to this channel also don't forget to li
