Main event: Leon Edwards​

Record: 22-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC

Opponent: Sean Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC)

Division: Welterweight

Key wins: Colby Covington, Kamaru Usman (twice), Nate Diaz, Rafael dos Anjos, Gunnar Nelson, Vicente Luque

Misc.: Edwards is back for the first time since he lost the welterweight title to Belal Muhammad in the UFC 304 main event this past July. He was set to take on Jack Della Maddalena this week, but Maddalena was shifted to – perhaps adding insult to injury for Edwards – a title fight at UFC 315 against Muhammad.

Main event: Sean Brady​

Record: 17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC

Opponent: Leon Edwards (22-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC)

Division: Welterweight

Key wins: Gilbert Burns, Kelvin Gastelum, Michael Chiesa, Jake Matthews

Misc.: Brady suffered the lone loss of his career to current champ Muhammad about 30 months ago. His road back to contention has featured just one fight in 2023 – a bonus-winning submission of Gastelum – and one in 2024, a decision over Burns. A win over a former champ ion Edwards would be a big line on his resume.

Co-main event: Jan Blachowicz​

Record: 29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC

Opponent: Carlos Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC)

Division: Light heavyweight

Key wins: Aleksandar Rakic, Israel Adesanya, Dominick Reyes, Corey Anderson, Ronaldo Souza, Luke Rockhold, Jared Cannonier

Misc.: It's been a lengthy layoff for ex-champ Blachowicz, who won the title in 2020 and defended it once before he lost it to Glover Teixeira. He's been climbing back since then, including a draw in a vacant title fight. But after a close loss to Alex Pereira, he's been on the sidelines for nearly two years following shoulder surgery.

Co-main event: Carlos Ulberg​

Record: 12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC

Opponent: Jan Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC)

Division: Light heavyweight

Key wins: Volkan Oezdemir, Alonzo Menifield

Misc.: Since a 2021 loss to Kennedy Nzechukwu, it's been all upward trajectory for Ulberg with seven straight wins, including five finishes and a pair of bonuses. He's got his most accomplished and arguably toughest test yet in ex-champ Blachowicz, and a win certainly would have him into the title picture.

UFC debut: Alexia Thainara​

Opponent: Molly McCann (14-7 MMA, 7-6 UFC)

Division: Women's strawweight

Misc.: The 27-year-old from Brazil is stepping in on short notice for Istela Nunes to take on "Meatball" Molly. She beat Rose Conceicao by decision on DWCS on the way to her official debut.
