In the main event there’s a middleweight title showdown as current champion Dricus du Plessis looks to make his first defense of the belt against former long-time kingpin Israel Adesanya, who returns for the first time since an upset loss to Sean Strickland last year.
In the co-main event Kai Kara-France will try to return to winning ways after back-to-back losses when he goes up against recent flyweight title contender Steve Erceg, whose gone 3-1 in the UFC so far.
Mateusz Gamrot is on a three-fight winning streak heading into his next fight against Dan Hooker, who is coming in off back-to-back wins.
At heavyweight Tai Tuivasa is in dire need of a win after losing four-in-a-row, and to do so he’ll have to get the better of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who is coming in off a TKO win, but has lost three of his last five fights.
