The UFC has officially confirmed 11 bouts for their March 28 Seattle card headlined by former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
Adesanya has lost his last three fights, losing to Sean Strickland (Sept 2023), Dricus Du Plessis (Aug 2024), and Nassourdine Imavov, respectively, (February 2025). With Adesanya having been out of the Octagon for over a year, there are question marks over whether he will retire if he suffers another defeat. Pyfer has 6 wins in the UFC, most recently beating Abus Magomedov at UFC 320 in October.
In the co-main slot, former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso takes on Maycee Barber in a rematch. Grasso won their first encounter in 2021, but Barber has since gone on a run, winning seven straight fights. Here is the card.
