Makhachev has a 15-1 record with the UFC and claimed the lightweight title back in October 2022 against Charles Oliveira.

Since then, the Russian has defended his crown three times. In his most recent fight, Makhachev submitted Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 302.

Brazilian Moicano is riding a four-fight winning streak for the first time in his UFC career. The 35-year-old has won six of seven matches since June 2021 but is seen as a big outsider heading into a mouth-watering battle.

Merab Dvalishvili will defend his bantamweight crown against undefeated fighter Umar Nurmagomedov in the other main event.

Nurmagomedov will look to continue his unbeaten run, while Dvalishvili will hope to cement his status as the undisputed bantamweight champion.

The rest of the main card is absolutely stacked. Jiri Prochazka fights Jamahal Hill, two former light heavyweight champions, who are bound to provide plenty of entertainment.

Elsewhere, Jailton Almeida takes on Serghei Spivac and Reinier de Ridder will face Kevin Holland.
