It will be the first time that Cyborg, considered by many to be the best fighter of all time, will headline a UFC pay-per-view event. The Brazilian debuted for the organization in the main portion of UFC 198, when she knocked out Leslie Smith in less than two minutes. Afterwards, she had the main fight of the UFC Brasilia, beating Lina Lansberg and finished off Tonya Evinger to win the featherweight belt, vacant since the compulsory removal of the title from the hands of Germaine DeRandamie. Holm is no stranger to the spotlight. The North American was already the main attraction of UFC 193, when she surprised the world with a knockout Ronda Rousey.
In addition to the fight for the women's title, the poster also highlights the lightweight duel between the Brazilian Edson Barboza and the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov. The two will face each other for the right to fight for the category title, as soon as the conflict between the linear champion Conor McGregor and the owner of the interim belt, Tony Ferguson, has an end.
