UFC 281 takes place this coming Saturday night, 12th November at Madison Square Garden in New York City and we’ve got the full fight card below.
In the main event there’s a fascinating showdown between long-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira, who holds the distinction of having beaten ‘The Last Stylebender’ twice in the kickboxing ring and has won all three of his fights in the UFC so far.
In the co-main event Carla Esparza holds the strawweight title for the second time in her career and now seeks her first successful title defense against former champ Zhang Weili.
There’s more must-see action on the main card as former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier gets set to lock horns with former title contender Michael Chandler.
There’s also the retirement fight of former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar’s long career as he prepares to take his final bow at 41-years-old against Chris Gutierrez, who is unbeaten in his last seven Octagon outings.
And opening up the main card will be lightweight action as Dan Hooker tries to get back in the win column against Claudio Puelles, who is on a five-fight winning streak.
