UFC Round Up: Alex Pereira Dropped New Merch Mocking Israel Adesanya
After all the excitement and buzz following UFC 295, where Alex Pereira defeated Jiri Prochazka, he is now creating buzz for his upcoming fight, potentially against Israel Adesanya. The Brazilian fighter, who already challenged the former UFC Middleweight champ after winning the light heavyweight belt, is extending his invitation and creating more buzz by dropping a new merch with the same quote he offered Izzy for the fight: “Come To Daddy.”
The merchandise is now available on MerchLabs. T-shirts have long been a part of the promotion, from Dana White wearing shirts for different matchups, such as Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk. Pereira seems to be leveraging this strategy to create buzz. It will be interesting to see if Adesanya accepts the fight, and whether we’ll witness another showdown between them.

Sharing his thoughts on the fight card, he simply said two words, “tremendous card.”
Indeed, the card is magical, given the fact that it features Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval, Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson returning to face Shavkat Rakhmonov, a welterweight contender on the rise, a lightweight bout between Tony Ferguson and Paddy Pimblett, and a welterweight match. Seeing such names on the card, “tremendous” is the only way to describe it.
