Israel Adesanya corrects a fan trash talking his greatest rival.

The former UFC middleweight champion has clashed with Alex Pereira on several occasions in both the kickboxing ring and in the UFC octagon. The pair are one apiece with knockout victories over each other in the promotion and at UFC 281 in April of last year, Adesanya finally got his revenge on the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion via knockout.

In a new video posted to Adesanya's YouTube, a young fan taking a photo with Adesanya proclaimed that Pereira sucks. Israel would respond by letting the fan know that Alex is 'really good' and that he should resepct him.

“He’s all good, he’s really good. Show him respect, he’s really good. I beat him already so you can be a fan.”

Elsewhere in the same video, Adesanya revealed that he is in training camp for his next fight. An opponent for Adesanya has yet to be announcined.
