Pereira’s ‘juju’ is real — Adesanya

“You know what Jiri said about the whole Juju thing? That’s real. That’s real,” Adesanya said, referencing Prochazka’s accusations of Pereira using shamanic sorcery.

The ‘Stylebender’ drew parallels between his losses to Pereira in the UFC and their previous encounter in Glory kickboxing, noting eerily similar patterns in both fights.

“The last time I fought him in Miami, look… the guy beat me in the biggest arena on the planet, Madison Square Garden, the same way as the last time he beat me in Brazil,” Adesanya said.

He further detailed how he seemed to have the upper hand in those bouts before Pereira mounted miraculous comebacks, saying, “I was beating his a**, had him hurt at the end of the first round… and then he gets me in the last round.”

Adesanya attributed Pereira’s uncanny ability to recover and turn the tables to spiritual forces.
