Return of the Stylebender: Adesanya Back in UFC Octagon in March
Adesanya aims to end a three-fight losing streak against rising contender Pyfer in a middleweight main event streaming on Paramount+.
- On March 28, Israel Adesanya will face Joe Pyfer in the middleweight main event at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Dana White announced Tuesday via Instagram; the fight streams exclusively on Paramount+.
- Adesanya is looking to course-correct amid recent defeats, trying to stop a three-fight skid that includes losses to Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, and Nassourdine Imavov, while Pyfer rides a three-fight win streak after an earlier loss to Jack Hermansson.
- The promotion also announced a rematch in the co-main slot between Alexa Grasso and Maycee Barber, with Grasso earning a unanimous decision over Barber at UFC 251 and Barber on a seven-fight win streak, recently beating Karine Silva.
- Last year, UFC's Seattle sellout at Climate Pledge Arena broke the North American live gate record; White said, 'We will not wait 10 years to come back here,' after 18,000 attendees generated $3.84 million.
- Of the 13 events planned through August, eight are Fight Nights and UFC Seattle concludes the promotion's March schedule in its fifth visit to the city.
