Main Event:
- The main event features a middleweight battle between former title challenger and perennial contender Jared Cannonier (17-6) and French hopeful Nassourdine Imavov (13-4). No. 4 ranked Cannonier returns to the Octagon for the first time since last June after suffering an injury, looking to continue building his winning streak and build upon his impressive UFC resume which includes wins over former champions Sean Strickland and Anderson Silva. No. 7 ranked Imavov is back for his third UFC main event following his win over Roman Dolidze in February, aiming to continue climbing the ranks ahead of UFC’s forthcoming return to Paris, France in September.
Co-Main Event:
- In the co-main event, No. 15 ranked light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes (12-4) returns to action against Dustin Jacoby (19-8-1). Reyes is back after a two-year absence, looking to get back on the winning path, while Jacoby, who earned his way back onto the UFC roster with a victory on Season 4 of Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS), seeks a win for a chance to get back in the rankings.
