UFC Seattle: Adesanya vs. Pyfer – Full Results and Highlights
Israel Adesanya makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon for a high-stakes clash with the man Dana White wants everyone to be like.
Emanating from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will look to snap a three-fight losing skid and re-establish himself as a legit contender in the middleweight division. Standing in his way is Joe Pyfer, a DWCS alum who’s lived up to his ‘Bodybagz’ moniker with nine career KOs against 15 total victories.
In the co-main event of the evening, it’ll be a battle of top-five contenders as former flyweight titleholder Alexa Grasso meets surging contender Maycee Barber.
And rounding out the top of the card will be the swan song of TUF fan favorite Michael Chiesa. Stepping into the Octagon for the 22nd and final time, ‘Maverick’ will close the book on his UFC career against the always dangerous Niko Price.
