Main Event

• One of the greatest UFC fighters of all time meets one of the greatest UFC heavyweights ever when current champion Jon Jones and No. 8 Stipe Miocic collide in a historic main event showdown between two future hall of famers over a year in the making. Jones (27-1), who holds some of the most significant UFC records in history including the most title fight wins, looks for his first championship defense at heavyweight since stepping up to the division after his storied run at light heavyweight in his 17th-consecutive UFC title bout. Miocic (20-4), who has defended the heavyweight title more than anyone in UFC history and holds six victories over fighters who have held the championship, brings his own iconic legacy into the Octagon as he looks to regain the belt for a third time.

Co-Main Event

• The co-main event features a heated, five-round rematch between two of the most exciting fighters in the UFC men’s lightweight division with No. 2 Charles Oliveira going head-to-head with No. 7 Michael Chandler. Oliveira (34-10), the 14-year UFC veteran who holds records for most finishes and submissions, defeated Chandler in their 2021 title fight and went on to defend the belt two more times. Oliveira now looks to take the next step in his journey towards reclaiming the lightweight throne. Chandler (23-8), a former NCAA DI All-American wrestler and The Ultimate Fighter season 31 coach, returns to the Octagon for the first time since 2022 looking to make a statement against Oliveira and send a message to the rest of the division that he’s ready for a title opportunity.

Additional PPV Card Highlights

• Three-time NCAA DI wrestling champion and Dana White’s Contender Series alum, Bo Nickal (6-0) looks to remain undefeated and continue his rise in the men’s middleweight division against UFC veteran Paul Craig (17-8-1), both holding 100% finish rates.
• 9 women’s flyweight contender Viviane Araujo (12-6) takes on Dana White’s Contender Series alum, No. 11 Karine Silva (18-4), as Silva looks to extend her nine-fight overall win streak and remain undefeated in the Octagon.
• In a 165 lbs. catchweight battle of recent Dana White’s Contender Series alums, Mauricio Ruffy (10-1) and James Llontop (14-4) face off, as Ruffy, who has 10 KOs in 10 career wins, looks to continue his five-fight overall win streak.
