In the co-main event, flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will defend his belt in a rematch against Alexandre Pantoja. Moreno has previously lost twice to Pantoja, once in a 2016 exhibition and again in a 2018 UFC bout. The main card lineup also includes a No. 1 contender's match between former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and rising contender Dricus Du Plessis, a lightweight bout featuring Jalin Turner and Dan Hooker, and a middleweight fight between Bo Nickael and Tresean Gore.
