Although the bus was damaged in the accident, no one on the bus sustained injuries, according to the report. Along with Adesanya, it is reported that Alexander Volkanovski was also on the bus with Adesanya.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that no one was hurt and the fight between Adesanya and Pereira<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/ufc-281-pro-fighters-make-their-picks-for-israel-adesanya-vs-alex-pereira-title-fight\/\"> will remain on<\/a>. This is a massive fight for both men&#8217;s legacies given they fought twice in kickboxing but this time around, Adesanya is confident he will finish the Brazilian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly think within the first five minutes, within the first round, even within the first three minutes, with the pace we\u2019re gonna (bring), I think it\u2019s gonna be a high pace.

He\u2019s not gonna be able to keep that high pace. I know the kinda pace I can (bring). He\u2019s not gonna last. If this fight has to go, each round, until someone falls, trust me, I know who\u2019s gonna stand. I know who\u2019s gonna be left standing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alex Pereira is also confident he will finish the fight and KO Adesanya again which only adds to the excitement of their title fight.<\/p>\n<p>Israel Adesanya is coming off decision win over <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighters\/jared-cannonier\/\">Jared Cannonier<\/a> to defend his title for the fifth time. Prior to that, he beat Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori by decision to return to the win column.
