Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y., on Sat., Nov. 12, 2022, with a blockbuster pay-per-view (PPV) event that features two championship clashes. In UFC 281's main event, Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, will look to settle the score with former kickboxing rival and No. 5-ranked division contender, Alex Pereira. In the co-feature, women’s Strawweight queenpin, Carla Esparza, will attempt to defend her newly-won title for the first time against former champion and No. 2-seeded contender, Zhang Weili.

We'll stockpile all the real-time UFC 281 updates, odds, start time, tickets, weigh ins, predictions, previews, video highlights, press conferences, winners, losers and much more from "The Big Apple" right here before, during and well after the ESPN+-streamed live PPV show concludes.
