Glover Teixeira's prediction for the title fight between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya

Glover Teixeira is confident that his friend and training partner Alex Pereira will dethrone Israel Adesanya in the main event at UFC 281. Pereira already holds two kickboxing wins over Adesanya, including a knockout in 2016.

According to Teixeira, 'Poatan' will defeat Adesanya for a third time at UFC 281 unless he his having a bad day. The 42-year-old also predicted 'The Last Stylebender' will suffer a first-round KO if he goes hunting for revenge for his past losses. The former light heavyweight champion told Ag.Fight:

"Adesanya is a great fighter, but it does not matter. That style of his, of stepping in and out, Poatan works the distance very well. The way he puts on pressure is different. Adesanya knows that. He’s a really strong guy... Styles make fights. I think Adesanya has no chance against Poatan. Only if he’s on a bad day, then he may lose a decision. If Adesanya goes after him, though, trying to get payback for that knockout, he’s getting knocked out in the first round."
