Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira have known each other for several years. Both came to MMA via kickboxing, having already had the opportunity to compete before arriving on the UFC circuit. Pereira had the advantage back then and still is. He won the under-84kg crown by beating the Nigerian by TKO last November. The two fighters will meet again in the cage for a high-voltage fight on Saturday, April 8, US time. Before this explosive encounter, the UFC 287 schedule planned another shock match: Gilbert Burns against Jorge Masvidal at -77kg. As appetizers, the match between Rob Fon (6th in standings) vs Adrian Yanez (12th) and the duel between Kevin Holland and Santiago Ponzinibbio should not disappoint. MMA prodigy Raul Rosas Jr will face off against Christian Rodriguez.
