A UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad is expected to headline the event.[3] The pair previously fought at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad in March 2021, where the fight was declared a no contest following an accidental eye poke which left Muhammad unable to continue.[4]
An interim UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the title holder Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes is set to co-headline the event.[5] They previously met at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall in July 2022 in which Blaydes won after Aspinall injured his knee fifteen seconds into the bout keeping him out of competition for a year.[6]
