I think it's a 50/50 situation. But if I had to bet my house, I'd bet on Israel. Betting on Adesanya is safer. He's a defensive puncher, and besides, he's a champion. If the fight is close, the win by decision is usually given to the champion.

Adesanya, 33, last competed in the Octagon in July 2022 at UFC 276, defeating Jared Cannonier by unanimous decision. He has 23 wins and one loss under his belt.

Pereira, 35, defeated Sean Strickland by first-round knockout at UFC 276 in July. He has six wins and one loss under his belt.
