On Saturday April 7, UFC returns to Miami, Florida, for the first time since 2003.
UFC 287 is headlined by a middleweight championship rematch between reigning champion Alex Pereira and former title holder Israel Adesanya.
The rivals previously clashed at UFC 281 in which Pereira captured the middleweight belt by a massive fifth-round knockout.
The two also previously met twice in kickboxing matchups, with Pereira coming out on top both times.
Huge welterweight co-main event
In the co-main event, former title challengers Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal will duke it out. The winner in the highly anticipated matchup has a good chance of challenging for the title in a not too distant future.
The UFC 287 fight card also features fighters like Rob Font, Kevin Holland and the hyped newcomer Raul Rosas Jr.
In the prelims we will see a middleweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Chris Curtis, as well as a women’s strawweight bout between Michelle Waterson and Luana Pinheiro.
