The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns this weekend with UFC 287 on Saturday live from Miami-Dade Arena in Miami, Florida.
UFC 287 is headlined by a highly-anticipated rematch between middleweight champion Alex Pereira and former titleholder Israel Adesanya. In their first meeting, Adesanya was ahead, 39-37, on all three judges’ scorecards entering the fifth and final round before Pereira found his shot and scored a TKO victory just two minutes into the final frame.
Now, Adesanya will be looking to reclaim his crown.
In the co-main event, Miami’s own Jorge Masvidal returns to action to take on fellow welterweight contender Gilbert Burns.
UFC 287 kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET with the early preliminary card on 6:00 p.m. ET, before the action shifts to ESPN at 8:00 p.m. ET. The main card will begin at 10:00 p.m. ET on pay-per-view.
