Main Event:

• The night culminates with a highly-anticipated Top Ten showdown at light heavyweight between No. 4 Jamahal Hill and No. 7 Khalil Rountree Jr. in a bout with significant divisional implications. Hill (12-3), the former champion, looks to return to title contention with a showstopping KO in his second fight of the year. Rountree Jr. (14-6), the former The Ultimate Fighter participant, recent title challenger and divisional leader in knockdowns among active fighters, plans for a statement performance in his return to the Octagon following a hard-fought loss to Alex Pereira in October’s championship bout.

Co-Main Event:

• In the co-main event, No. 11 Rafael Fiziev goes head-to-head with Ignacio Bahamondes in a lightweight showcase. Fiziev (12-4), one of the division’s top strikers, aims for a commanding KO win in his second Octagon appearance in three months. Bahamondes (17-5), the Dana White’s Contender Series alum also returning after his last appearance at UFC 313 in March, looks to improve on his three-fight win steak and add another consecutive first round finish to his growing resume.
