The UFC\u2019s return to Seattle with a finalized main card, including the U.S. return of Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n
UFC Seattle takes place on Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena, streaming exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States. The main card was officially announced during the UFC London broadcast this past Saturday.<\/p>\n
Adesanya looks to snap a skid that includes three straight losses, and dropping four of his last five as he faces Joe Pyfer in the main event of the UFC Fight Night card. The co-main event features a pivotal flyweight matchup as former champ Alexa Grasso faces Maycee Barber in a rematch from their February 2021 matchup, which Grasso picked up a decision.<\/p>\n
The newest addition to the card was the final opponent of Michael Chiesa\u2019s career, as he\u2019s set to drop the gloves in the octagon in front of a home crowd. Originally slated to face Carlston Harris, it was revealed that Chiesa now faces Niko Price in the featured bout of the card. \u201cMaverick\u201d enters the bout on a three-fight win streak, which includes submissions of Tony Ferguson and Max Griffin.<\/p>\n
