Alex Pereira isn’t too fazed with Israel Adesanya’s actions after he was knocked out by him.

Adesanya (24-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC) avenged his knockout loss to Pereira (7-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) at UFC 281 with a finish of his own in this past Saturday’s UFC 287 headliner in Miami to even the score at 1-1 in MMA.

But in kickboxing, Pereira defeated Adesanya twice – once by knockout. In the first one, Pereira’s son, then 5, emulated Adesanya’s motion of crashing to the canvas after the knockout. So after the admittedly petty Adesanya knocked out Pereira at UFC 287, he pointed at “Poatan’s” son and did the exact same thing.

“I don’t know – I wouldn’t do the same,” Pereira said on his YouTube channel. “I can play with (my son). I’ve always played with him. I teased him. It was something that happened. I don’t know what his feeling was – it was seven years ago. He was enduring it, and I saw (Aesanya’s) joy that he had after the knockout, because that was his dream and he made it.

“But we’re comparing him with a child that was 5 years old at the time, right? I don’t have that mind. Today, he is 12 years old, and before the fight I saw (my son) was being influenced by other people – sometimes even participating in some interviews, and some (asking), ‘You’re going to do this?’ (And he said,) ‘I’m going to do it again,’ and so on – and he laughed because he’s a kid.

“I think it’s funny. I did that, I knocked him out the night I won the belt and my kid wanted to do the same thing up there. I said to him, ‘No – stop. Don’t do it. Stay here and don’t do anything.’ I’m a conscious guy and everything. I’m saying I wouldn’t do it. If (Adesanya) did it and felt better that way, OK. It’s a relief he had and if he thinks it’s better for him, OK. That won’t change anything for me.”

Took that better then I expected.

I would have assumed Alex would be pissed about it.

I'm kinda halfway with it.

On one hand Izzy was literally taking to heart what a 5 year old kid did and seeking revenge. Not cool

On the other hand my granny taught me to stay out of grown folks business
when I was a kid so maybe he needed the lesson

This is in a weird way a good lesson in humility and not behaving like a jerk for the kid there are times when pereira was a dick to adesanya and other people.

That kid needs to grow up to avenge his father by beating Izzy’s son that Izzy and his husband will adopt.
Or just kick the Genderbender Izzy's ass himself once he's old enough like Ray Cooper III did beating Jake Shields a while back getting revenge for Shields' win aginst his dad years ago...
