The etching in the history books such as great rivals, Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya may be turning a new magazine.

On Saturday’s UFC 312 in Sydney, the two warriors sat next to each other. Not only did they seem to tolerate each other’s presence, they seemed to enjoy it.

Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) posted a selfie video of itself and Adesanya (24-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) from Cageside. Each fighter played up grilling the camera. In addition, photos of the two warriors were caught, including one where they both cracked smiles.

Pereira and Adesanya have competed against each other four times: twice in kickboxing and twice in MMA. Pereira went 2-0 against Adesanya in Kickboxing, but the two fighters split results in MMA.

Since Pereira is currently holding the light heavyweight title and Adesanya, which still competes at middleweight, much would have to adapt to the two to meet in an MMA trilogy fight. But this is MMA, and crazy things have happened.
