UFC 287 full fight card winner and results
Israel Adesanya won the UFC title back and avenged his first defeat inside the octagon thanks to his impressive knockout of Alex Pereira during Saturday’s UFC 287 main event.

Thanks to his stunning KO victory, Adesanya has bagged the $50,000 Performance of the Night award in addition to the UFC Middleweight title.
Following a close first round, Pereira tried to dominate his opponent in the second-round, but was caught by Adesanya with two powerful right hands that forced Pereira to the ground for good. This KO win was also Adesanya’s first knockout win since his win over Paulo Costa at UFC 253. Rob Font won the other Performance of the Night award for his first-round TKO victory over Adrian Yanez, handing the quickly ascending Yanez his first UFC defeat.
