Israel Adesanya admits UFC 287 is his 'last chance' to banish the demons and exact revenge over old rival Alex Pereira


The Brazilian beat Adesanya - having already done so twice in kickboxing - when the pair renewed their acquaintance for UFC middleweight title last year.


"This is my last shot, and I'm going to give it all I've got in every sense of the word.' Says Adesanya.


He said he is destined to reclaim the belt he lost to the Brazilian.


"I'm hunting now... this is my last shot and I'll roll the dice': Israel Adesanya insists he has shifted mentality ahead of huge rematch with Alex Pereira for middleweight title at UFC 287"


Pereira was losing on the scorecards in their last battle until the fifth round, when the powerful Brazilian upped the aggression and forced a stoppage.


Adesanya had never lost at middleweight before that night and having performed so well, will only make minor tweaks to the gameplan this time.
