Newsone reports that Adesanya vs Pereira, one of the most-anticipated mixed martial arts events of the year takes place on Saturday, as UFC 281 plays out at Madison Square Garden.
This online news platform understands that in the main event, Israel Adesanya defends the middleweight title against Alex Pereira, the fast-rising star who holds two wins over Adesanya from the pair’s kickboxing days.
Newsone Nigeria reports that Champion Israel Adesanya will put his belt on the line against the man who twice defeated him in kickboxing, Alex Pereira, inside New York City’s famed Madison Square.
Adesanya will be making the sixth defense of his middleweight title. Pereira, meanwhile, has been fast-tracked to a title shot, likely because of his wins over Adesanya in the kickboxing ring, the second of which came by brutal knockout.
Similarly, the women’s strawweight crown is also at stake on the card when Carla Esparza puts the belt on the line against former titleholder Weili Zhang. Esparza is looking for her first title defense in her second reign as champion — she also did not defend the title when she won it the first time in 2014.
Plus, a lightweight fire fight is set for the featured bout when former title challengers Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler link up. The fight could catapult the winner into one final title shot in 2023. The card also sees the final fight of Frankie Edgar’s storied career when he takes on Chris Gutierrez at bantamweight. And lightweights open the show on the main card when Dan Hooker takes on Claudio Puelles.

What you need to know about UFC 281 match Adesanya vs Pereira
A ghost from Israel Adesanya’s past returns at UFC 281 on Saturday night. Adesanya defends his UFC middleweight champion against Alex Pereira, a vicious striker who defeated Adesanya twice in the kickboxing circuit and remains the only person in combat sports to knock him out. A story-rich headliner for the promotion’s return to Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Adesanya, armed with a sublime and stifling striking game, builds his case as the greatest middleweight of all time with each successful title defense. Adesanya will test the quality of his kickboxing game against arguably the only fighter who can meet or exceed it, former two-division Glory kickboxing champion Pereira.
Adesanya fought his way to the UFC interim middleweight and undisputed middleweight titles in his sixth and seventh UFC fights, respectively. A feat worth celebrating, but one eclipsed by Pereira’s accelerated rise through the ranks. A first-round KO of Sean Strickland at UFC 276 rewarded Pereira with a top-five ranking and a UFC title shot in just his fourth fight with the promotion. Adesanya — having defeated Anderson Silva, Robert Whittaker (twice), Yoel Romero, Paulo Costa, Marvin Vettori (twice), and Jared Cannonier — welcomes a difficult challenge.
