UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2 is a mixed martial arts event by the Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place on April 8, 2023, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, United States.
In a rematch, UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira will square off against former UFC champion Israel Adesanya. Pereira defeated Adesanya via fifth-round TKO at UFC 281 this past November.
Gilbert Burns will square off against Jorge Masvidal in a welterweight contest in the co-main event. Burns has won three of his past five fights, while Masvidal has lost three straight fights.
Adesanya is actually the favorite at the moment to win, but the numbers have slightly tightened. Right DraftKings(opens in new tab) has him listed at -130 (bet $130 to win $100), and Pereira (+110) isn't too much of an underdog (bet $100 to win $110).
In the co-main event, odds are tightening on Jorge Masvidal (+340, down from yesterday's +360) and Gilbert Burns (-425, slightly down from -450). The two will fight for momentum towards a Welterweight Championship match. Neither man has beaten Kamaru Usman, who had dropped the title to current champ Leon Edwards.
