Israel Adesanya suffered his first loss in a year and a half, at the hands of longtime rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281 on Saturday. During the post-fight scrum, “The Last Stylebender” admitted that Pereira’s kick to his peroneal nerve contributed to the result.
In that same scrum, Adesanya also revealed that he was going through some “medical stuff” coming into the fight.
“I don’t disclose everything. I’ve had some medical stuff that I just put on the back burner. Even stuff that people make fun of me for,” he told reporters.
