Along with confirming Alexa Grasso’s rematch with Maycee Barber, Dana White revealed that Israel Adesanya will headline UFC Seattle on March 28. This will be the first time in the former two-time middleweight champion’s career that he’s fought in the main event of a Fight Night card on back-to-back occasions.

Israel Adesanya hasn’t fought in a hot minute since his 3-fight losing skid. With fight pundits arguing his best years are behind him, and even retirement rumors swirling in the UFC fandom, ‘Izzy’s vigor has become a thing of the past.

Colby Covington is seeking new life in his UFC return and believes he has to "go up to middleweight to get some big fights."
