Let’s hypothetically say Alex KO Izzy in first, does Izzy get an immediate rematch for a fourth fight or fight a contender?

Idk if Izzy getting KO in first round against Alex a guy he’s lost to before. Anyway, he would get an immediate rematch. I don’t think he should. The UFC does give those out but this is really stretching it if it hypothetically happened if it was a war and he lost closely or got finished in the last round okay but in the first round.

The UFC has its Madison Square Garden main event.
Israel Adesanya will defend his UFC middleweight title against old rival Alex Pereira in the headliner of UFC 281 on Nov. 12 in New York, Adesanya announced Friday on SportsCenter.
Pereira owns two wins over Adesanya in kickboxing, including one via knockout. ESPN has Adesanya ranked tied for third on its pound-for-pound MMA list. At middleweight, Adesanya is No. 1 and Pereira is No. 7. Pereira, a former two-division Glory Kickboxing champion, beat Adesanya in kickboxing once by decision in 2016 and then again a year later via knockout.
Adesanya (23-1) is undefeated in his career at middleweight. The Nigerian-born New Zealand resident has won three straight since falling in a light heavyweight title bout to Jan Blachowicz in March 2021. Adesanya, 33, owns five successful title defenses at middleweight, holding the undisputed title since October 2019.
Pereira (6-1) is coming off a first-round knockout of Sean Strickland at UFC 276 last month, the same card in which Adesanya defended his title successfully against Jared Cannonier. The Brazilian slugger has five finishes in six career pro MMA victories since coming over from kickboxing.
Pereira, 35, is 3-0 in the UFC with a pair of $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses to his name.
Years in the making, Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira are finally set to square off again. This time, it’ll be in MMA – on one of the biggest combat sports stages at one of the most iconic venues in the world.
UFC 281 is set for Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York and Adesanya (23-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) vs. Pereira (6-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is set to headline, the promotion announced Friday via broadcast partner ESPN.
No other bouts have been set for the Nov. 12 pay-per-view at this time, though a lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler is being discussed, potentially for that date.
The matchup is the one the promotion has indicated would happen since UFC 276 took place July 6. On that pay-per-view card, both Adesanya and Pereira won. Adesanya successfully defended his title against Jared Cannonier, two fights after Pereira quickly knocked out Sean Strickland with his signature left hook.
Since former Glory Kickboxing champion Pereira went full-force into mixed martial arts in 2020, fans have hankered for a matchup against his two-time opponent Adesanya – even before he signed with the UFC in 2021.
