Robert Whittaker has explained how the gloves could play a factor if Israel Adesanya battles Alex Pereira in the UFC.<\/p>\n
On the previous two occasions that Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya fought one another, it was ‘Poatan’ who was able to get the better of ‘The Last Stylebender’. On one occasion he won via decision and on the other, he knocked Adesanya out cold – with both contests coming in the world of kickboxing.<\/p>\n
In the present day, Adesanya is the UFC middleweight champion and Pereira is widely considered to be the number one contender for the belt. The two men seem destined to square off<\/a> with one another and given the storyline involved, you’d have to think the promotion is interested in making it happen.<\/p>\n Robert Whittaker, who knows a thing or two about Adesanya, recently told Submission Radio why he believes the gloves are going to play a key role in how the contest pans out.<\/p>\n
