Israel Adesanya, the former two-time middleweight champion ranked fourth in the division, will face rising contender Joe Pyfer (ranked 14th) in the main event of UFC Fight Night on March 28 in Seattle. This crossroads fight is critical for both fighters—Adesanya seeks to stop his first losing streak and recover from recent setbacks, while Pyfer has an opportunity to leapfrog fellow middleweight contenders with a victory over a former champion. The card also features former UFC women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso in the co-main event against Maycee Barber, and veteran Michael Chiesa in his retirement fight. The event will air on Paramount+.
