UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has spoken out about the upcoming rematch between Israel Adesanya and the league's middleweight titleholder Alex Pereira on the night of April 9 at UFC 287 in Miami.
I believe Pereira will win again. There are some athletes who just always beat a certain opponent. I believe he will do it again.

The first fight between Pereira and Adesanya took place in November 2022 at UFC 281. In that bout, Alex won by TKO in the fifth round and won the middleweight championship belt.
