History has repeated itself again for Alex Pereira.

Having defeated Israel Adesanya twice in kickboxing, the Brazilian has now done it again in MMA at UFC 281. Halfway through the fifth round, ‘Poatan’ managed to catch the ‘Last Stylebender’ with his trademark left hook and followed it up with more shots to warrant a standing finish.

On Twitter, some fighters disputed the stoppage.
