How to Watch UFC 281 Adesanya vs. Pereira Free on Firestick

Here’s how to watch Adesanya vs Pereira online, wherever you are, via Firestick and other streaming devices.

“The last Stylebender” will be stepping into the octagon this weekend to defend his UFC middleweight title for the sixth time. This time, Adesanya will face the only fighter to knock him out, Alex Pereira. The aforementioned fight took place during their kickboxing careers; it was Adesanya’s last kickboxing fight before he joined UFC. Pereira later joined UFC in 2021 and has been fast-tracked to a title shot after Adesanya defeated all top challengers in the division.

UFC 281 will take place at “the world’s most famous arena,” Madison Square Garden, and it is certainly among the most anticipated fight cards of 2022. In the co-main event, two-time and current UFC women’s strawweight champion Carla Esparza (20-6) and former titleholder Zhang Weili (22-3) will go head to head. But even before that, fans will be treated to what is expected to be an instant classic when Michael Chandler (23-7) and Dustin Poirier (28-7) meet to most likely determine the next challenger for the lightweight championship.

During that run, he beat Marvin Vettori, Brad Tavares, Derek Brunson, former champion Anderson Silva, and Kelvin Gastelum in an interim title fight.

“The Last Stylender” then captured the middleweight title with his second-round KO win over Robert Whittaker. Since then, he has defended his title five times, beating Yoel Romero, Paulo Costa, Marvin Vettori, Robert Whittaker in a rematch, and most recently, Jared Cannonier.
