The total card features 12 fights – five on the main card, seven on the preliminary card, which is split into three fights each, with three on UFC Fight Pass and four on FS1. There are two title fights, both co-main events, and a lone undefeated fighter (Khabib Nurmagomedov) stepping into the Octagon on Saturday night.
