About UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2

Pereira shockingly defeated Adesanya by knockout in November. Adesanya, who was undefeated at middleweight and the reigning champ, looks for the chance to reclaim the belt and finally defeat his biggest rival. Israel Adesanya was atop the MMA world during his initial run as UFC Middleweight Champion. He was undefeated, in the running for top pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, and on a five-match defense streak. Then, Alex Pereira showed up and knocked out his longtime rival. Pereira is now 3-0 against Adesanya across kickboxing and MMA — can he make it four straight this Saturday?

In the co-main event, Miami cult hero Jorge Masvidal returns home to take on top welterweight contender Gilbert Burns. Burns looks to secure his second finish in a row and make a statement that puts him back into the Championship mix. Fighting in his backyard of Miami for the first time since 2010, Masvidal looks to get back in the win column and re-enter the welterweight Top 10. A loss to Burns could be the end for Masvidal, who has teased retirement following an up-and-down stretch over the past few months.
