A familiar face awaits Israel Adesanya as he returns to rule the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s 185-pound weight class.

“The Last Stylebender” will defend his undisputed middleweight title in a rematch with Marvin Vettori atop UFC 263 on Saturday at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The two men met previously in 2018, when Adesanya, prior to his becoming champion, eked out a split decision over Vettori. He has since rattled off seven wins in eight appearances, losing only to Jan Blachowicz in a failed attempt to become a two-division titleholder.

UFC 263 “Adesanya vs. Vettori 2”—which streams live to ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a co-main event rematch between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno for the flyweight crown, a light heavyweight affair pitting Paul Craig against Jamahal Hill and a pair of welterweight battles, as Leon Edwards faces Nate Diaz and Demian Maia confronts Belal Muhammad. ESPN+ (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) and UFC Fight Pass (6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT) are scheduled to split coverage of the undercard, a nine-fight slate of prelims anchored by a showdown between Drew Dober and Brad Riddell at 155 pounds.
