UFC 263 Fight Card: Who is fighting this weekend? 1

UFC 263 is this Saturday, June 12, with a fight card that features two championship rematches.

In the main event, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will defend his belt against #3 ranked contender Marvin Vettori. Adesanya came out on top when the two fighters first clashed in 2018 but it was a closer fight than many anticipated. Vettori won the third and final round on all scorecards but two judges determined that Adesanya had done enough to win the first two rounds and therefore win via split decision.

The UFC 263 co-main event is a fight between UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno. Figueiredo and Moreno fought last December in a fantastic five-round bout that ended up being called a majority draw after Figueiredo, the champion, was deducted a point for a low blow.

Typically, only UFC main event and title fights are scheduled for five rounds but a special contest on the UFC 263 main card is also booked for five three-minute rounds this Saturday night. Nate Diaz returns to the cage to face #3 ranked welterweight Leon Edwards in what should be a highly significant 170-pound clash that could have title implications.
