Though there have only been two fights mentioned for it, UFC 281 is already shaping up to be a banger. The event, which takes place at MSG on November 12, is scheduled to feature Israel Adesanya defending his UFC middleweight title against his nemesis Alex Pereira in the main event.
The co-main event for this card is expected to Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler in a bout that could determine the next title challenger at 155 lbs.
News of Poirier vs. Chandler comes a few weeks after the pair needed to be separated at UFC 276 (which was also headlined by Adesanya).
