| Main Event: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Yair Rodriguez
The night’s main event will see Alexander Volkanovski return to the featherweight division after challenging lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 284. ‘The Great’ has already defended his title four times, but now he’ll be tasked with defeating Yair Rodriguez after ‘El Pantera’ claimed the division’s interim title on the same night that Volkanovski tried to become a two-division champion.
| Co-Main Event: Brandon Moreno vs. Alexandre Pantoja
Brandon Moreno will defend his flyweight title against Alexandre Pantoja in the co-main event, which is also a chance for ‘The Assassin Baby’ to get revenge after he was submitted by the Brazilian on The Ultimate Fighter and lost a decision to him in 2018.
| Other Exciting Matchups
The rest of the card features some high-profile matchups like the middleweight title eliminator between Robert Whittaker and Dricus Du Plessis, Robbie Lawler’s retirement fight against Niko Price, Bo Nickal’s second UFC bout, and plenty more as part of one of the promotion’s strongest events of the year.
