UFC 263: Previewing the Biggest and Best Fights Set for Glendale
Sequels don't always match the originals.
But UFC czar Dana White and Co. are hoping you'll give them another try.
The octagonal conglomerate will offer a pair of championship rematches in the main and co-main event slots at its next pay-per-view extravaganza—UFC 263—set for June 12 in Glendale, Arizona.
About 10 miles outside downtown Phoenix, the 19,000-capacity Gila River Arena will host a second go-round between middleweights Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori, this time for the 185-pound title that Adesanya won a year after beating Vettori by split decision in a three-rounder.
That fight was at the same venue, on a Fight Night show topped by Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
