The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

Volkan Oezdemir vs. Mauricio Rua in a light heavyweight bout will serve as the headliner of this show. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on which bout will serve as the co-main event but it’s likely to be Latifi vs. Teixeira.
