Pay attention to UFC 287, which promotes a rematch between Alex Poatán e Israel adesanya in a fight for the middleweight title (up to 83,9 kg), commentator Luciano Andrade analyzed the Brazilian's chances of victory. Exclusively to SUPER FIGHTS, the analyst suggested the strategy for the São Paulo native to continue with the belt after another meeting with the Nigerian.
“Poatan is a guy who hits hard, he is aggressive, but he is not a guy who goes up all the time with a large volume of strikes. When you go all out, no matter how good your defense is, you tend to open up a little more. So, it's closer to a 'lottery'. But I think that due to the psychological pressure and the way the last fights were, I have the impression that, if Poatan goes all out, Adesanya will deliver, he won't withstand the pressure. I have the impression that, if Poatan goes all out, he will win in the first round”, said Andrade.
