^ And another thing.. Why was Adesanya always backing up and getting his back near the cage? It could he a mistake because he'd be having not much space to pull away once Pereira starts moving forward. It was like he was trapping himself.

Anyway, I'll start looking through the rest of the roster and try to actually find value in these match ups again. The greasy parlays, while fun, aren't really working out for me. I'm just wasting my BTC. Lol.

Actually, this is just what I think when Israel Adesanya backed away, Alex Pereira will always move forward always clearing the distance, and Adesanya doesn't want to move from side to side because he doesn't want to make mistakes because Alex Pereira tends to punch from side to side so Izzy is pretty much aware of that, and the only defense that Israel Adesanya has was the clinched but yeah in backing in that fence he has allowed Pereira, and Alex Pereira didn't notice this on the start of the match, he just realized this on the 5th round, when Adesanya would clinch to him Adesanya's center defense was open that surely have given the opportunity for Pereira, so for me, It could be the movement of Pereira that cause Israel Adesanya to back further away to the fence and this is the 1st time Adesanaya is fighting a guys taller than him or had the same height, not the same guys like Robert Whittaker, Marvin Vettori, and Jared Cannonier then don't have the same height as Pereira,
