ADESANYA GETS IWOBI-SIGNED SHIRT AHEAD TITLE DEFENCE.

Israel Adesanya has been gifted an Everton jersey signed by Nigerian midfielder, Alex Iwobi, ahead of his UFC middleweight title defence against former kickboxing rival Alex Pereira.

Pereira only left kickboxing behind for good in 2020 but has already earned himself a middleweight title shot after stretching his record to 6-1 with a first-round knockout win over Sean Strickland at UFC 276.

Ahead of the most highly anticipated fight of his life, Adesanya received a thoughtful gift from UFC flyweight contender Molly McCann who is a massive Everton fan.

In a video posted to her Instagram page, the MMA fighter can be seen handing over a signed Everton top to Adesanya and explaining it is signed by his fellow Nigerian Iwobi.
