A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion (also a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) Jon Jones and former two-time champion Stipe Miocic is expected to headline this event.[2] They were previously expected to headline UFC 295 last November, but Jones withdrew due to a pectoral muscle injury.[3] Current interim champion Tom Aspinall is expected to serve as backup and potential replacement for this fight.[4]
A five-round lightweight rematch between former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira and former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion (also a former UFC lightweight title challenger) Michael Chandler is expected to take place as the co-main event.[5] The pairing previously met for the vacant championship at UFC 262 in May 2021 which Oliveira won by second round TKO.[6]
A welterweight bout between Randy Brown and Carlos Prates was scheduled for this event.[7] However, Prates ended up being scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates against Neil Magny a week earlier.[8]
A lightweight bout between Mauricio Ruffy and Charlie Campbell was scheduled for this event.[9] However, Campbell withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by James Llontop.[10][11]
