The card for the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s upcoming trip to the Emerald City is close to being finalized.
The Las Vegas-based promotion on Wednesday confirmed 11 bouts for UFC Seattle, many of which had already been reported. UFC Seattle — also known as UFC Fight Night 271 — takes place on March 28 at Climate Pledge Arena and is headlined by a middleweight showdown pitting Israel Adesanya against Joe Pyfer. In the co-main event, ex-flyweight queen Alexa Grasso will square off against Maycee Barber at 125 pounds. The card will air in its entirety on Paramount+.
Adesanya has lost four of his last five Octagon appearances dating back to November 2022. In his lone appearance of 2025, “The Last Stylebender” suffered a second-round technical knockout defeat to Nassourdine Imavov in the UFC Saudi Arabia headliner last February. Adesanya captured 185-pound gold in October 2019 and authored five successful title defenses before relinquishing the belt to kickboxing rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281.
A two-time competitor on Dana White’s Contender Series, Pyfer has gone 6-1 in the promotion since earning a UFC contract in 2022. After suffering his lone career Octagon defeat to Jack Hermansson in the UFC Fight Night 236 main event, “Bodybagz” has rebounded to post successive triumphs against Marc-Andre Barriault, Kelvin Gastelum and Abusupiyan Magomedov.
