Vettori vs. Cannonier

This event was originally expected to be topped by Josh Emmett vs. Ilia Topuria, but that fight was postponed one week later, as the headliner for a Fight Night in Florida. Marvin Vettori vs. Jared Cannonier was then booked as the new Middleweight main event, keeping the card anchored by two proven contenders. Jared Cannonier set the significant strike record for most landed in a UFC Middleweight bout at 241.
