Just days before Israel Adesanya looks to settle the score with nemesis Alex Pereira in Miami at UFC 287, Ariel, Chuck, and Petesy are here to break down yet another massive UFC pay-per-view card. On today’s show, 3PAC discusses:

  • Whether Adesanya is making a mistake by fighting Pereira after losing to him (again) just five months ago (7:27)
  • Whether an Adesanya win or a Pereira win is better for the UFC (13:00)
  • Adesanya’s mental approach in a fight against a man who coach Eugene Bateman considers to be “the greatest KO artist of all time” (16:36)
  • Official predictions for the main event (23:10)
  • Jorge Masvidal’s homecoming against Gilbert Burns, and whether this could be the last time we see Masvidal in the Octagon (29:45)
  • If Kevin Holland can get back on track against Santiago Ponzinibbio (41:15) and more!
