Considered one of the most dangerous men in the division, Rozenstruik will return to the octagon to confirm his good form. In his last performance, the Surinamese defeated the former group champion, junior gypsy, UFC 252.

Considered one of the promises of the category, Gane also did well against Cigano in his last match. Even beating the Brazilian with a controversial result - in which the Frenchman was accused by his rival, some of the fans and the press, of surprising Júnior with an illegal elbow to the back of the head -, Ciryl, today, occupies seventh place in the ranking and remains undefeated as a professional in MMA.

Jairzinho, today, is number three in the group led by Miocic. Although both the Surinamese and the Frenchman are capable of challenging the champion, the fighters will have to wait for the outcome of the fight between the champion and Ngannou, in addition to the debut of Jon Jones in the division, scheduled for 2021.

The show on March 23 will be headlined by Leon edwards e Khamzat Shimaev. The athletes are fighting for a title fight later this year.
