The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET while the preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is slated to defend his title against Yoel Romero at this upcoming pay-per-view event, which will serve as the main event.

The promotion will announce more bouts for the event in the coming weeks. Here is the updated card:

Champ Robert Whittaker vs. Yoel Romero – for middleweight title

Colby Covington vs. Rafael dos Anjos – for interim welterweight title

Curtis Blaydes vs. Alistair Overeem

Joseph Benavidez vs. Sergio Pettis

Carla Esparza vs. Claudia Gadelha

Andrei Arlovski vs. Tai Tuivasa

Rashad Evans vs. Anthony Smith

Rashad Coulter vs. Allen Crowder

Dan Ige vs. Mike Santiago

Last summer, Cris Cyborg was briefly scheduled to defend her 145-pound title against Invicta featherweight champ Megan Anderson, but Anderson was forced to withdraw due to personal reasons.

Cyborg then on went on to successfully defend her title against Tonya Evinger and Holly Holm before meeting Yana Kunitskaya in the main event of last night’s (March 3, 2018) UFC 222 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Despite taking the fight on short notice, Cyborg showed up in peak form, scoring a dominant first-round TKO victory.

And now, Anderson is finally hoping to get a crack at the Brazilian slugger:

While the fight certainly makes sense, the UFC has appeared interested in booking a super fight between Cyborg and bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes. That matchup is certainly an intriguing one as well, and it could take place at UFC 224 in May in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Who would you like to see Cyborg fight next?
