Opponent: Nassourdine Imavov (13-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Key wins: Marvin Vettori, Sean Strickland, Derek Brunson, Kelvin Gastelum, Jack Hermansson, Anderson Silva
Misc.: Cannonier won back-to-back fights after his UFC 276 title loss to then-champ Israel Adesanya –one over ex-champ Sean Strickland and one over ex-challenger Marvin Vettori. An MCL injury has had him on the shelf for nearly a year, though, until now.

Record: 19-8-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC
Opponent: Dominick Reyes (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Key wins: Kennedy Nzechukwu, Da Un Jung, Michael Oleksiejczuk
Misc.: After an 8-0-1 MMA run over several years in his return to the sport, things have soured a bit for Jacoby, who has dropped three of his past four – all by decision. In between, though, was a bonus-winning KO of Kennedy Nzechukwu to remind 205ers he still has heat.

Co-main event: Dominick Reyes

Record: 12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC
Opponent: Dustin Jacoby (19-8-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Misc.: Reyes is in desperate need of a win. He started his career 12-0 and got a shot at then-light heavyweight champ Jon Jones. He lost a close decision –some think he won the fight –then has three knockout losses after that. He had a pair of fights with Carlos Ulberg scrapped earlier this year. The fight with Jacoby will be his first since late 2022.
