UFC 287 live stream: Preview

Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya's first clash was one of the most memorable middleweight fights in UFC history, and now they're heading back to the octagon for another go. Welcome to UFC 287.

The main event sees Brazilian Pereira defend his middleweight title against Nigerian Israel Adesanya. When the pair met previously (at UFC 281 in November), Pereira won with a thrilling fifth-round knockout. He also emerged victorious from their two kickboxing encounters outside of the UFC – one in 2016, and another the following year. So Adesanya will be looking for vengeance.

Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya's first clash was one of the most memorable middleweight fights in UFC history, and now they're heading back to the octagon.

Being a previous middleweight champion, he stands a good chance, and will be hoping to regain his title.

It seems like Pereira was brought in to challenge Adesanya's dominance in the middleweight division, which he has succeeded in doing. He has said he wanted a new challenge, and the UFC was it. Now he has the title, he has to defend, and contenders don't come any hungrier than former title holder Adesanya.

Title fight aside, it's a stacked card. Hometown boy Jorge Masvidal takes on fellow Floridian Gilbert Burns in a welterweight bout, while in the bantamweight division, two of the most exciting strikers go head-to-head in Rob Font vs Adrian Yanez. And that's just the tip of the iceberg – see the full card at the end of this article.
