Your complete guide to UFC 287 including start time, fight card and TV coverage details.
UFC 287 goes ahead with Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya to return to the octagon in Miami, Florida.
Pereira enters this showdown as the UFC Middleweight Champion following his shock defeat of Adesanya with a stunning TKO in November 2022.
The 35-year-old former kick-boxing superstar has only fought four times in UFC and this rematch is undoubtedly his biggest encounter to date as he seeks to take a firm grip of the weight division.
Pereira was Adesanya’s first conqueror in a middleweight clash. Adesanya will be determined to reclaim the title he had held since 2019.
Also on the card, Gilbert Burns takes on Jorge Masvidal, Rob Font faces Adrian Yanez and Kevin Holland collides with Santiago Ponzinibbio on the main card.
