UFC 281 Fight Card: Adesanya vs. Pereira Complete Fight Card and Betting Odds

The UFC heads back to New York City this weekend for a terrific night of fights at arguably the greatest fight venue on the planet. At the top, two title fights are in order for the co-main and main event, as Carla Esparza puts her strawweight belt on the line vs. Zang Weili in the co-main event to get the title fights started. 

At the very top, the middleweight belt will be on the line, as the #2 pound-for-pound fighter on the planet in Israel Adesanya faces a familiar foe in Alex Pereira. Although it was in kickboxing, Pereira has twice defeated “Stylebender”, the second time via a vicious KO and the only inside-the-distance loss (in any sport) of Adesanya’s career. A third win here, this time in MMA, would also land Adesanya his first-ever loss at middleweight. 

Before either of those fights gets underway, however, a pair of top-five lightweights will go at it as Dustin “Diamond” Poirier makes his return ot the octagon to take on Michael Chandler. Another two guys that appear to genuinely dislike each other, this should be one of the more entertaining fights on the entire card. 

Moving down the card one fight further, 40-year-old Franke Edgar will make his last walk to the Octagon, facing up-and-comer Chris Gutierrez who hasn’t lost inside of the octagon since November 2018. Last but not least, to start off the main card, Adesanya’s teammate Dan Hooker will look to get back on track, having lost four of his past five fights as he now faces a streaking Claudio Puelles. 

Let’s take a closer look at the full card of action and where the odds currently sit.
