Background

This event will be expected featured as a second non pay-per-view numbered event in the United States since UFC 138.[2]

A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Jan Błachowicz (also former KSW Light Heavyweight Champion) and former title challenger Glover Teixeira was scheduled to take place at UFC 266.[3] However, the bout was pushed back in late June and is expected to headline this event.[4]

A UFC Bantamweight Championship rematch between current champion Aljamain Sterling and the former champion Petr Yan is expected to take place at this event.[5] The duo previously met earlier this year at UFC 259 with Sterling winning the fight (and title) by disqualification (intentional illegal knee strike) in the fourth round, becoming the first fighter to win a UFC title by disqualification.[6]

A lightweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos and Islam Makhachev is expected to take place at the event.[7] The pairing has previously been scheduled and cancelled twice. First in October of 2020 at UFC 254 and then two weeks later at UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. dos Anjos with both participants pulling out due to separate health related issues.[8][9][10][11] [12]
