The main event features a must-watch bout between heavyweight finishers as No. 9 ranked contender Jairzinho Rozenstruik (13-4) squares off against surging No. 12 contender Jailton Almeida (18-2). Rozenstruik returns after a knockout win over Chris Daukaus at UFC 282, seeking a run towards the title. Dana White’s Contender Series signee Almeida is now considered one of the top contenders in UFC as he looks to maintain his undefeated UFC record in the most important bout of his MMA career.

The co-main event presents a light heavyweight bout between and former UFC title challenger and No. 5 ranked contender Anthony Smith (36-17) and No. 7 Johnny Walker (20-7). Smith returns to action for the first time since last July seeking another notable win while Walker enters on a two-fight winning streak and plans to continue his momentum with another explosive performance.

Jon Anik will call the action alongside two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz and UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division Champion, Daniel Cormier. Megan Olivi will handle reporting duties.
