UFC 287 Is Rematch Between Alex Pereira And Israel Adesanya

Pereira will look to continue his meteoric rise in the UFC, winning his first four fights in the promotion including the matchup vs. Adesanya.
Adesanya is out to reclaim the title he held onto since October 6, 2019, when he defeated Robert Whittaker at UFC 242 to unify the UFC Middleweight Championship.

Jorge Masvidal And Gilbert Burns Looking For Title Shot Opportunity
In the co-main event, Masvidal will fight Burns in a three-round welterweight showdown in the co-main event of UFC 287.
Both men are looking to position themselves for a UFC Welterweight Championship fight against Leon Edwards by winning on Saturday night.
Coming into UFC 287, Masvidal has lost three straight fights, with his last win coming against Nate Diaz at UFC 244 in 2019. Masvidal desperately needs a win to keep his title dreams alive.
