Check out the latest UFC 287 odds for UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya 2 in Miami this Saturday, April 8.
The title rematch headlines today's deep fight card at Miami-Dade Arena in Florida. The early preliminary card streams on ESPN+ (6:30 p.m. ET), the regular prelims air on ESPN and ESPN+ (8 p.m. ET), and the main card is available via ESPN+ pay-per-view (10 p.m. ET).
In the main event, Pereira (7-1) looks for his first UFC title defense when he rematches ex-champ Adesanya (23-2), who suffered a fifth-round TKO loss in the duo's first meeting back in November. Pereira also owns a pair of pro kickboxing wins over Adesanya. However, Pereira remains an underdog with the latest UFC 287 odds.
In the UFC 287 co-main event, welterweight contender and heavy favorite Gilbert Burns (21-5) takes on Jorge Masvidal (35-16), a former title challenger who's on a three-fight skid since his 2019 "BMF" win over Nate Diaz.
