MIAMI – One of the most anticipated rematches in recent UFC history will unfold on Saturday when rivals Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya collide once again in the UFC 287 headliner.
Despite Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) owning a 3-0 advantage in head-to-head matchups between kickboxing and MMA, the actual fights have seen Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) have much success and be on the cusp of winning more than once.
That’s what makes it all the more intriguing as they prepare for a possible final encounter, which goes down at Kaseya Center and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
