Main Event
The night culminates with a title bout for the UFC Lightweight Championship, between Ilia Topuria and No. 2 Charles Oliveira in a showdown between two superstars that promises a can’t-miss finish. Topuria (16-0), the former featherweight champion who vacated his title in April following consecutive KO-wins against Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, puts his undefeated record on the line in a new division in his quest for another belt. Oliveira (35-10), the former division champion, 2022 Fighter of the Year ESPY Award winner and future UFC Hall of Famer, brings his own record-setting resume into the Octagon to reclaim his spot atop the 155-pound division and add to his UFC-leading 20 finishes.
Co-Main Event
The co-main event features a bout for the UFC Flyweight Championship, with three-time defending titleholder Alexandre Pantoja taking on No. 4 Kai Kara-France in a rematch almost a decade in the making, following Pantoja’s victory in their first meeting on season 24 of The Ultimate Fighter. Pantoja (29-5), approaching the two-year anniversary of his championship win at International Fight Week in 2023, comes in on a seven-fight win streak looking to extend his division-leading seven finishes with a showstopping end to his fourth title defense. Kara-France (25-11), in his second UFC title opportunity, plans to claim the throne for the first time and avenge his loss to Pantoja with an unforgettable performance.
Additional PPV Card Highlights
In a flyweight contest with potential title implications, No. 1 contender and former UFC title challenger Brandon Royval (17-7) looks to defend his top position against No. 12 Joshua Van (14-2), who comes into his third fight of the year on a four-fight winning streak and is aiming for more.
UFC veterans go head-to-head at lightweight as No. 9 Beneil Dariush (22-6-1), returning to the Octagon for the first time since 2023, faces off with No. 11 Renato Moicano (20-6-1), as Moicano looks for a statement performance to jump into the Top 10 and put himself in position for another title opportunity.
Dana White’s Contender Series alum Payton Talbott (9-1), who has finished 8 of his 9 career victories, takes on Felipe Lima (14-1) to kick off the ESPN+ PPV main card with a bantamweight showcase, as Lima looks to extend his 14-fight career winning streak in his third Octagon appearance.
