Get ready for some fireworks as UFC 287 kicks off tonight with a spectacular main event featuring long-time rivals Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira! With the UFC middleweight title on the line, Adesanya is looking to snatch the belt back from Pereira, who claimed it just five months ago. As if their rivalry wasn’t intense enough, these two have already faced off twice in kickboxing bouts, with Pereira coming out on top both times.

Fast forward to the world of MMA, and it was Adesanya who initially made a name for himself, reigning as a dominant UFC champion. However, Pereira, the Brazilian newcomer to MMA, secured a thrilling TKO against Adesanya in their first MMA meeting back in November. Tonight’s main event in Miami will be Pereira’s first title defense, and we’re sure the atmosphere is going to be electric!

The co-main event features hometown hero Jorge Masvidal taking on Gilbert Burns in a massive welterweight showdown. The stakes are high, and this battle could very well impact the title picture in the future. So be prepared for some edge-of-your-seat action!
