Uncrowned has UFC Seattle live results, round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer fight card on Saturday at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington. Two-time former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya faces off against rising contender Joe Pyfer in the night’s five-round main event, while another former UFC champ — Alexa Grasso — takes on Maycee Barber in a pivotal women’s flyweight matchup in the evening’s co-headliner.

Once one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, Adesanya (24-5) suddenly finds himself in dire need of a win. The 36-year-old middleweight legend has dropped three consecutive bouts and is just 1-4 over his past five UFC appearances since late 2022. Adesanya’s latest stretch includes stumbles against Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis in title bouts, as well as a stunning non-title knockout loss to Nassourdine Imavov in February 2025.
Pyfer (15-3) now gets his chance to further add to Adesanya’s decline. A 29-year-old power-punching talent who joined the UFC off Contender Series, Pyfer has won six of his seven Octagon appearances, culminating in his current three-fight win streak over the likes of Marc-Andre Barriault, Kelvin Gastelum and Abus Magomedov. If Pyfer pulls off the upset and wins again at UFC Seattle, he’ll immediately launch into the title conversation at 185 pounds.
The UFC Seattle start time for the preliminary card is at 5 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The main card begins live at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
