Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira have seemingly put their differences aside, with the pair sitting together to watch UFC 312.
The legends shared one of the most intense rivalries in combat sports history, with ‘Poatan’ beating ‘The Last Stylebender’ twice in Glory kickboxing, before crushing his dreams again, by knocking him out to claim UFC gold.
However, in their fourth, and potentially final encounter, the Nigerian-born striker finally got his revenge, brutally rendering unconscious his greatest rival.
But now, it appears the pair have made amends.

In just a few hours, Dricus Du Plessis will attempt to defend his championship belt against Sean Strickland in an eagerly-anticipated rematch.
Having shared the octagon with both men, Israel Adesanya will undoubtedly be watching the action very closely.
In his own right, having trained extensively with the American, Alex Pereira will be hoping that the challenger can get the job done.
And by the looks of things, Adesanya and his former nemesis, are going to sit back and watch the action together.
In two photographs uploaded to social media by the UFC, the pair cracked the biggest of smiles, before striking a slightly sterner pose.
Of course, the fans loved it, with one tweeting: “You can feel that CHAMA energy,” while another added: “Humility is the key! Both great legends with lots to discuss! Iron sharpens Iron.”
A third exclaimed: “This is wild.”
