Main Event
The main event sees a showdown for the UFC Featherweight Championship with No. 1 contender Alexander Volkanovski taking on No. 3 Diego Lopes, following Ilia Topuria vacating the title. Volkanovski (26-4), the former featherweight king with the second-most title fight wins in division history, enters his 10th-consecutive championship bout looking to regain his spot atop the division he led for four years and become a two-time world champion. Lopes (26-6), a surging competitor and former Dana White’s Contender Series participant, comes into his first UFC title fight opportunity on a five-fight win streak over 13 short months and plans to add on with a showstopping performance against a division legend.
Co-Main Event
No. 7 contender Michael Chandler goes head-to-head with No. 12 Paddy Pimblett in a 5-round co-main event at lightweight that promises an exciting finish. Chandler (23-9), the former NCAA DI All-American wrestler, MMA veteran and The Ultimate Fighter season 31 coach, plans for a statement performance to extend his streak of post-fight bonuses and put himself back in the conversation for a shot at UFC gold to add to his storied career. Pimblett (22-3), a rising star featuring four finishes across his perfect 6-0 Octagon record, looks to jump into the Top 10 and the title conversation with a powerful win against a UFC veteran.
