In the second most important confrontation of the show, Rafael dos Anjos face Renato Moicano, who joined the event at the last minute. Previously, the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg) would face Raphael Fiziev, who left the UFC 272 after contracting Covid-19.
In the search for recovery at featherweight (up to 65,7kg.), Edson Barboza makes his first appearance in the 2022 season. The fighter will climb into the octagon to try to take away the dangerous man's unbeaten record Bryce mitchell.
Pressured for a positive result, Alex Cowboy is also featured in the show. Coming from three consecutive defeats, the fighter needs to overcome Kevin holland so as not to run the risk of being placed on the dreaded layoff list.
