UFC 281: Israel Adesanya looks incredibly jacked ahead of Alex Pereira fight

Israel Adesanya appears to be bigger than he’s ever been as he prepares to battle Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 281.

For the longest time now, fans have been wondering what would happen if Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira locked horns – but this time, in the realm of mixed martial arts.

The pair have met on two previous occasions in the kickboxing world and in both instances, Pereira was the one who came out with his hand held high.

While Adesanya doesn’t like to dwell on the losses too much, many have noted that nobody else in combat sports has been able to knock ‘Stylebender’ out in the manner that ‘Poatan’ did.

That doesn’t exactly inform us as to what will happen on November 12 at Madison Square Garden, but it does tell us one thing – Alex Pereira should not be slept on when these pair collide in New York City.

Adesanya knows that he needs to be prepared and he’s also well aware of the fact that Pereira is going to bring the fight to him, something many of his previous opponents have failed to do.

It makes a lot of sense, then, that he’s already begun the process of bulking up, as you can probably tell from the following set of photos.
