A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Islam Makhachev and former interim champion Dustin Poirier is expected to headline the event.
A five-round middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland and former title challenger Paulo Costa is expected to take place in a co-main event.
A heavyweight bout between former Bellator Heavyweight World Champion Alexander Volkov and Jailton Almeida was expected to take place at this event. However, the bout was scrapped for unknown reasons and Volkov was booked for UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. Chimaev against former interim UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Sergei Pavlovich. Almeida is now expected to face Alexander Romanov instead.
A women's strawweight bout between former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Gillian Robertson was scheduled for the event. However, the bout was postponed to UFC 303 for unknown reasons.
