Description

The event will be held during the UFC's annual International Fight Week. The 2025 UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony is also expected to take place during the week.

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout for the vacant title between former UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria and former champion Charles Oliveira is expected to serve as the event's headliner. Current champion Islam Makhachev will vacate the title in order to challenge for the UFC Welterweight Championship. Topuria vacated his featherweight title in April in order to move up to lightweight. Arman Tsarukyan (who was previously scheduled to challenge for the title at UFC 311 but pulled out a day before the event due to injury) is expected to serve as backup and potential replacement for this fight.

A UFC Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Alexandre Pantoja and former interim title challenger Kai Kara-France is scheduled to co-headline the event. The bout was originally rumored to take place at UFC 314 and UFC 316, but the bookings were never confirmed. The pairing previously met in an exhibition match in the quarterfinals of The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions in November 2016, when Pantoja won the two-round bout by unanimous decision.

A flyweight bout between former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger (also former LFA Flyweight Champion) Brandon Royval and former RIZIN Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape was scheduled to take part at this event. They were originally scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Almabayev in a title eliminator, but Royval had to withdraw due to multiple concussions. In turn, Kape pulled out this time on June 9 due to a broken foot and was replaced by Joshua Van.

A lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and former title challenger Renato Moicano is scheduled for this event. They were initially supposed to compete at UFC 311 but Moicano ended up challenging Makhachev for the title in the main event on short notice.

A heavyweight bout between Justin Tafa and Jhonata Diniz was scheduled for this event. However, Tafa withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Alvin Hines.

A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Paulo Costa and Roman Kopylov was scheduled for this event. However, for unknown reasons the bout was moved to UFC 318.
