UFC Fight Night, Israel Adesanya vs. Joe Pyfer: Start time, where to watch live on Paramount+ By Mar 28, 2026 at 11:46 am ET • 3 min read israel-adesanya-fight-night-weigh-in-getty.jpg Getty Images

Israel Adesanya and Joe Pyfer meet on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Seattle, a classic crossroads fight ahead for both men. For Pyfer, a win over Adesanya moves him closer to a title opportunity. For Adesanya, the two-time former middleweight champion needs a win to remain a relevant player at the top end of the 185-pound division.

Adesanya enters the bout on a three-fight losing skid; two of those losses came by way of stoppage. It's been a major fall for a premier athlete whose first title reign included five successful defenses, making him one of the greatest middleweights in UFC history, possibly only behind mixed martial arts legend Anderson Silva.

Sign up for Paramount+ and watch UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pfyer for no additional fee -- every UFC numbered event and UFC Fight Night is included with your subscription! Plans start as low as $8.99/month or $89.99/year!

Since blasting his way to a UFC contract with a 2022 TKO win on Dana White's Contender Series, Pyfer has impressed in the Octagon. Pyfer's UFC record sits at 6-1, his lone loss a 2024 decision defeat to Jack Hermansson. In his six victories, Pyfer has five stoppages, including two during his current three-fight winning streak.

Below is all the information you need to catch the action on Saturday night. Be sure to check out the CBS Sports' UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer preview with predictions and expert picks for the main event.
