And to headline the card, the organization has prepared a crucial middleweight (up to 83,9kg) duel that promises excitement: Jared Cannonier vs. Caio Borralho. The fighters will face off in a fight where the winner could take a big step towards the belt, currently held by Dricus Du Plessis.
In addition to the main event fighters, the night will have a strong Brazilian flavor. Three more Brazilian athletes will step into the octagon to represent the green and yellow flag. The only representative to fight on the preliminary card, Josiane Nunes, faces Luso-Brazilian Jacqueline Calvancant in the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg).
On the main card, Mairon Santos makes his UFC debut competing in the final of The Ultimate Fighter against Kaan Ofli. The Rio de Janeiro native, a favorite according to bookmakers, will compete in the featherweight division (up to 65,7kg) aiming for a contract that would be unprecedented in his career.
In the penultimate fight of the event, Tabatha Ricci is vying for a great opportunity to break into the top 10 of the strawweight division (up to 52,1kg) when she faces ninth-ranked Angela Hill. Currently, both fighters are technically tied in the betting odds for this crucial matchup.
