Adesanya was always cautious, he preferred to wait for the right moment and his anthropometry allowed him to have an advantage in his strategy. I don't know if it's possible to say that Pereira knows exactly what he will do, because Adesanya will also want to change something in his strategy so as not to be too predictable for the opponent.
Pereira has a very strong determination and a stamina to support it. He kept his strengths in their last fight, allowed Adesanya to have his feel and exhaust himself before he went all out and won the fight. He can do it again, unless Adesanya keeps the fight leveled without burning out before the last two rounds. Pereira has a strategy to beat Adesanya even though he is less experienced, it worked the first time and I believe he must have perfected it. Pereira will win again and silence Israel Adesanya once and for all.
I feel like Izzy will win. He showed up with a dog collar, did you see that? I think he took it on another level when he said:
I’m a dog, it’s a dog collar and I’m about to be unleashed. Izzy had much greater fights, taughter opponents, gained more experience. Also, I think there is too much pressure on Izzy right now, he has no other option but to win. He already exaggerated this pressure when he came with Dog Collar. If he loses, then Alex's fans will call him a puppy dog. I can't imagine how extremely he will be bullied if he loses this fight because he associated himself with dog that wears a collar. He has no other way but just to win, he cut every other way!
So, I bet on Israel Adesanya.
He did not take it on a other level, I reckon. If he really wanted to take it on another level, he would walk like a dog and have his coach put a chain attached on his dog collar to walk him to the stage and he would bark hehehehe. However, I agree with you. I am also with team Izzy.
