How stacked is the UFC 287 pay-per-view card?

If Kelvin Gastelum is headlining the prelims of any card, you know that card is massive in scale. The world's premier MMA promotion will return to its homeground for its next big pay-per-view after holding the last one in London, England.

To kickstart the main card, the youngest prospect in the promotion, Raul Rosas Jr. will take on Christian Rodriguez. The highly touted Rosas Jr. is undefeated in his MMA career, having beaten Jay Perrin in the first round at UFC 282 in his promotional debut.

The second fight on the card is a welterweight showdown between Kevin Holland and Santiago Ponzinibbio. This fight would have all the makings of a Fight of the Night bout, but it's going up against the next three, which are absolute fireworks.

The third bout of the pay-per-view will feature a bantamweight banger between surging contender Adrian Yanez and heavy-hitter Rob Font. The co-main event will feature Jorge Masvidal against Gilbert Burns. Both men have incredible punching power. However, 'Durinho' can utilize his superior grappling skills to secure the win.

The main event will feature a rematch between middleweight champion Alex Pereira and former champion Israel Adesanya. Although 'Poatan' has three wins over 'The Last Stylebender' in combat sports, the fourth meeting between them is still very intriguing as Adesanya is the betting favorite at -225 against the +180 underdog Pereira.
