UFC 287 'Pereira vs. Adesanya 2' Fight Card and Rumors
Zain Bando - February 7, 2023
The UFC will cap off a star-studded first quarter of fight action when the UFC middleweight champion, Alex Pereira, will put his newly-minted title at stake against Israel Adesanya in a highly-anticipated rematch at UFC 287. The bout and the rest of the action will take place Saturday, April 8, from Miami, Fla., as it’s the UFC’s first trip there since 2003. Former UFC welterweight title challengers will compete for a No 1 contender spot in the event’s co-headlining attraction, as Jorge Masvidal returns after a year layoff to face Gilbert Burns, who is coming off a first-round submission win against Neil Magny at UFC 283. As for Masvidal, he lost his last outing to Colby Covington in March 2022, and due to a legal dispute between him and ‘Chaos’, he did not brace the Octagon again for the rest of the calendar year.

Don’t expect to see the BMF title on the line for Jorge Masvidal vs. Gilbert Burns. ‘Gamebred’ has been out of action since his clash with Colby Covington last March. In that outing, ‘Chaos’ easily dominated with his wrestling en route to a lopsided unanimous decision victory. Weeks following that loss, Masvidal allegedly assaulted Covington in a Miami bar.
