Alex Pereira won’t wait for Israel Adesanya . Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) called out Adesanya after finishing Jiri Prochazka to capture the vacant light heavyweight title, but Adesanya didn’t appear too interested . Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) is currently taking some time off after losing his middleweight title to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in September, and Pereira is ready to move on if “The Stylebender” isn’t willing to complete their trilogy. “It doesn’t matter for me,” Pereira said through an interpreter during a recent Q&A hosted by Ares FC . “I called him out in the cage after the title win, and I wanted to give him the chance, and I saw he was not giving me any respect for this. He was laughing about it and making some jokes.
