Former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt will take on prospect Miles Johns in the evenings co-main event.
The ex-champ, who comes from a submission loss against Deiveson Figueiredo, is always an entertaining fighter to watch since his KO-power, bad chin and reckless fighting style is a crazy combination.
Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos vs. Nicolas Dalby

Danish MMA star Nicolas Dalby is back to the win column after a loss that snapped his four-fight winning streak. The Scandinavian 39-year-old will take on Brazilian fellow veteran Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos in the prelims.
The fighters clashed back in 2015, with Dalby standing as the winner via split decision. Let’s see who will be the better fighter almost a decade later!
Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Duško Todorović

Undefeated prospect Mansur Abdul-Malik will make his UFC debut on Saturday as he’s facing Dusko Todorovic in a middleweight prelim bout.
With six straight wins, including a second-round TKO at Dana White’s Contender Series, there is a lot to prove for Abdul-Malik in his debut in the big leagues.
Todorovic is no easy opponet however. He has been in the UFC for four years and pulled together a 3-4 record in the promotion.
Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson

Gillian Robertson is the submission genius of the strawweight division and is always an entertaining fighter to watch. Winner in four of her five last fights, three via submission, the Canadian is a tough opponent for anyone at strawweight.
Her next opponent Luana Pinheiro started her UFC tenure with three straight wins but has now back-to-back losses and is eager to get back on track again.
Ricky Turcios vs. Bernardo Sopai

Allstars Training Center’s Bernardo Sopai will face his absolute toughest test to date as he takes on Ricky Turcios on the main card. The fight marks the second UFC outing for Sopai, who lost his short notice UFC debut in March. The former FCR and AFN bantamweight champion is in big need of a win to avenge the tough loss and show the world that he belongs in the UFC.
Coming from a loss in Raul Rosas Jr. in June, the American 31-year-old will try to stop the Swedish-Albanian in his tracks.
