The UFC 281 main event features two former kickboxing rivals, Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira, who will face each other for the first time in an MMA bout. Adesanya is hoping to defend his middleweight belt for the sixth time.

The co-main event showcases women's strawweight champion Carla Esparza defending her title against former champion Weili Zhang. Also on the card, Michael Chandler goes up against Dustin Poirier, with the winner potentially getting a title shot at the lightweight belt. Early on, Frankie Edgar faces Chris Gutierrez and Dan Hooker faces Claudio Puelles.


Dana White aims to bring a new combat sport to Nevada soon

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has given the green light to Dana White's Power Slap league, paving the way for 'slap fighting' to be regulated under the jurisdiction of the state of Nevada. The NSAC also regulates the UFC.

In an October interview, the UFC president spoke about the new sport, claiming that he plans to move towards the regulation to establish clear-cut rules and make sure that all medical precautions are taken at all times. Defending against criticism of attempting to bring slap fighting into mainstream combat sports, White stated:

"The bottom line is, if you watch a boxing match, guys get hit with three to four hundred punches in a fight. These guys are going to get hit with three slaps. The Athletic Commission did the right thing."

Interestingly, Dana White's Power Slap League event will be held at the UFC Apex by the end of 2022, according to UFC's Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell.
