The UFC came here 20 years ago, and it inspired me to chase this dream; fifty-something fights later, hopefully I inspired somebody in here to go and fight for theirs – no matter what it is.” UFC 287 at the Miami-Dade Arena was the promotion’s first event in Miami since 2003, the year in which Masvidal made his pro debut. Following two consecutive defeats by Usman, Masvidal was outpointed by friend-turned-rival Colby Covington in March 2022 – his most recent fight before UFC 287.
