The main card lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano is a very interesting matchup. For years, Dariush has been regarded as perhaps the best lightweight to never get a title shot. However, back-to-back stoppage losses put a halt to his dreams of a championship fight and now he’s eager to get back to the absolute top again.
Since transitioning to the lightweight division, Moicano has established himself as a formidable contender. He’s currently riding a four-fight winning streak that includes names like Benoit Saint Denis and Jalin Turner.
Will Dariush stop Moicanos rise to the top or will the entertaining Brazilian take another big step towards a title shot? We will find out on Saturday night!
Jailton Almeida vs. Serghei Spivac

Top ranked heavyweights Jailton Almeida and Serghei Spivac will clash in a pivotal fight in the prelims.
Since moving to the UFC, Almeida has quickly become a rising star in the heavyweight division. He racked up six straight wins, five via stoppage, before losing to Curtis Blaydes in March 2024. In his last fight he submitted Alexander Romanov in the first round and is looking to extend his winning streak against the dangerous Spivac.
There’s a big chance that Almeida vs. Spivac won’t go the distance. Be sure not to miss this heavyweight clash!
