In the main event, Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz meet again after their first clash, which took place at UFC 191 on Sept. 5, 2015. The fight was in the early stages of both men’s Octagon runs.

Recently, both fighters have been on the hot streak, with Anderson winning four straight fights, including an explosive finish of Johnny Walker, and Blachowicz recently earning a split nod over Ronaldo Souza to pick up his sixth win in seven fights.
