Main Event
- A highly anticipated showdown for the heavyweight championship takes center stage when Tom Aspinall puts his undisputed title on the line for the first time against No. 1 contender Ciryl Gane. Aspinall (15-3), sporting a 100% finish win rate over his career and holding the shortest average fight time in UFC history, plans to continue his dominance in his first return to the Octagon since defending his interim belt in 2024 and solidify his role as the undisputed champion. Gane (13-2), the former interim division champion on a two-fight win streak, aims to capture the belt in commanding fashion in his third attempt at the undisputed title.
Co-Main Event
- Saturday’s championship double feature begins with a battle for the UFC women’s strawweight championship, featuring a Top 5 rematch between Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern competing for the division’s top spot following Zhang Weili vacating the title. Jandiroba (22-3) heads to the Octagon on a five-fight win streak planning to even the score with Dern from their first meeting at UFC 256 and emerge with the title. Dern (15-5), the former jiu-jitsu world champion holding the UFC divisional record for most submission wins, comes in aiming to extend her own run of back-to-back victories with a showstopping finish to claim the 115-pound belt.
