UFC 287 Proves to be a Massive Hit in South Florida. Adesanya reclaims belt, a local fan-favorite hangs up the gloves and plenty more.April 8th, 2023

Sam Hughes defeats Jaqueline Amorim by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Steve Garcia defeats Shayilan Nuerdanbieke by KO (strikes) at 0:36 of Round 2

Ignacio Bahamondes defeats Trey Ogden by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Loopy Godinez defeats Cynthia Calvillo by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27)

Crowd really getting behind Loopy throughout the fight.

Joe Pyfer defeats Gerald Meerschaert by TKO (strikes) at 3:15 of Round 1

Luana Pinheiro def. Michelle Waterson-Gomez by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Controversial win, especially since Luana seemed to eat a lot of kicks from the “Karate Hottie.

Kelvin Gastelum defeats Chris Curtis by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)

What a fight!!! While there was no question to the winner, Chris Curtis has definitely raised eyes as somebody to watch in future bouts.

Christian Rodriguez defeats the youngster Raul Rosas Jr.

Very pro Rosas Jr. crowd as they erupt with cheer to his el mariachi music. Unfortunately while he came out firing, the youngster’s inexperience seem to catch up with him as Rodriguez took control after the early onslaught.

Kevin Holland defeats Santiago Ponzinibbio by KO (left hook) at 3:16 of Round 3.

After setbacks to “Wonderboy” and Chimaev, “Big Mouth” was back to form with a stellar performance.

Gilbert Burns defeats Jorge Masvidal by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Burns never really seemed threatened by the massive fan-favorite Masvidal, but as he admitted did have a hard time trying to take him down.

Israel Adesanya defeats Alex Pereira by KO (right hand) at 4:21 of Round 2

Adesanya seemed a lot more patient in the rematch and seemed to play possum with Pereira before catching him with the heavy right hand.
