In the main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (205) looks to defend his belt against first-time challenger Thiago Santos (204.5). "Bones" is coming off of a decision win over Anthony Smith at UFC 235, while "Marreta" is 3-0 at light heavyweight with three knockouts. The co-main event sees two-division champ Amanda Nunes (135) defend her bantamweight throne when she takes on former divisional titleholder Holly Holm (133.5).

In the light heavyweight division, former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold (204.5) moves up in weight for the first time when he meets former KSW king Jan Blachowicz (205.5).
