UFC 263 preview

Two title fights top a mouthwatering UFC 263 bill on Saturday night in front of a full house at the Gila River Arena, Arizona.

It's a night of rematches and possibly revenge as middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his belt on the line against Marvin Vettori.

The pair squared off at the same venue in 2018 when Adesanya, making just his second appearance in the UFC, won by split decision.

The Last Stylebender has developed into one of the best competitors in the sport since that first meeting and should earn a more decisive victory this time around.

There's further gold up for grabs in the flyweight division as Deiveson Figueiredo defends his title against Brandon Moreno in another rematch.

December's first encounter ended in a majority draw and another extremely tight contest between two well-matched fighters looks likely so this one could could go the distance.

Meanwhile, highly-rated Englishman Leon Edwards has the privilege of taking on legendary fighter Nate Diaz in a five-round non-title bout.

Diaz hasn't been seen since losing to Jorge Masvidal for the BMF belt at UFC 244 and he's long past his best, while Edwards, who has set his sights on winning welterweight gold, is looking to build some impetus after a period of inactivity and could be of interest at 5-4 to win by decision.
