Topping the twelve-fight card is a middleweight clash between two former champions, as Dricus Du Plessis looks to rebound from the first loss of his UFC career against ex-welterweight king Kamaru Usman, who is making his first proper run at 185lbs.
The co-main event will see Jared Cannonier and Christian Leroy Duncan collide at middleweight, with both men eyeing a statement win. The rest of the main card features Chase Hooper vs Mitch Ramirez, Tabatha Ricci vs Fatima Kline, and Tommy McMillen vs Alberto Montes.
