The first UFC pay-per-view event of June will take place in Glendale, Arizona in front of a full capacity crowd. This will be the UFC’s third event with a large crowd since the COVID-19 pandemic struck world sports in early 2020.
UFC 263 will be headlined by a middleweight championship fight between Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori in a rematch that takes place three years after their first meeting. The announcement was made during the broadcast of UFC Vegas 25 last Saturday night.
The pair previously fought at UFC on FOX: Poirier vs. Gaethje in April 2018 with Adesanya earning a split decision win over Vettori.
