In the main fight of the card, the legend Georges St Pierre returns after almost four years without fighting to face Michael Bisping, current middleweight champion. The fight, valid for the title of the under-84kg division, will be GSP's first outside the welterweight division, in which he reigned for six years. In the second most important attraction of the show, the bantamweight champion cody garbrandt makes his first title defense against his opponent TJ Dillashaw, while the Polish Joanna Jedrzejczyk duel with Rose namajunas for the organization's strawweight belt.
Two Brazilian promises are confirmed on the show.
