The main event features a featherweight contenders’ clash between No. 5 ranked Josh Emmett (18-3) and surging No. 9 Ilia Topuria (13-0). Emmett returns to the Octagon ready to get back on the path to a second title shot. Topuria enters his first UFC main event undefeated and looking to keep climbing the divisional ladder with a stelar win against Emmett.

The co-main event presents a women’s flyweight bout between Amanda Ribas (11-3) and Maycee Barber (12-2). Ribas is coming off a unanimous decision win over Viviane Araujo at UFC 285 in March and looks to re-establish herself in the flyweight rankings. Barber comes in with a four-fight winning streak looking to secure a win against one of the toughest opponents to date.

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.
