The UFC is back on PPV this week, and while UFC 287 isn't their strongest offering ever, it's a solid enough card with a few gems for fans. The main event features the quadrilogy bout between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira, with just as many questions hanging over it as their first three meetings. The co-main between Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal isn't nearly so compelling, but bouts for Adrian Yanez, Kevin Holland, and Raul Rosas Jr. should make for a strong event.The UFC 287 prelims have a couple notable highlights… much like the main card of this week's UFC 287 PPV event, the prelims are…fine, not great. A middleweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Chris Curtis is set for the feature prelim slot and looks like a strong crossroads bout for both men, but might also just be a slow-simmering staring match. Michelle Waterson and Gerald Meerschaert hope to slam the gates on upstart prospects, while Karl Williams looks to keep his train rolling.For those looking to dive deeper into the Main PPV card, check out the Main Card Vivi released today on the Bloody Elbow Podcast Network, and right here on Substack it is found in the ‘MMA Vivisection Shows Tab' at the top of the homepage.The Bloody Elbow MMA Vivisection Podcasts are listener-supported broadcasts.
