UFC 287 is mere hours away, and fight fans can hardly contain their excitement as the stacked card promises to deliver some of the most incredible matchups yet. Headlining the Miami-based event is the highly anticipated rematch between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya, who are set to settle the score in the octagon once and for all. In the co-main event, fans will witness the long-awaited return of Jorge Masvidal, who has been on hiatus due to legal battles. He will go head-to-head with Gilbert Burns, in a fight that promises to be nothing short of explosive.

Recently, the final face-off between Masvidal and Burns took place. And during the ceremonial event, ‘Gamebred’ brought up his kids alongside, a decision that may have been emotionally driven. However, fight fans didn’t see it that way, and instead, took to the comment section to troll Masvidal on this move, bringing in the element of Colby Covington to add insult to injury.
