The UFC head to Miami, Florida for one of their biggest cards to date, with the action set to go down on at the Kaseya Center on March 9th.
The card will see the Bantamweight title up for grabs, a highly entertaining Lightweight co-main event and MVP makes his long awaited promotional debut.
At the top of the card, Sean O'Malley makes the walk to the octagon for the first time since becoming the UFC Bantamweight world champion, against Marlon 'Chito' Vera in a rematch over three years in the making.
Taking the title from Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292, O'Malley's stock has continued to rise and with just one solitary loss on his record, the champion will be keen to rectify the blemish on his record.
5-1 in his last six, Vera has been in impressive form of late, with notable wins over Rob Font, Dominick Cruz and Pedro Munhoz.
The co-main event will play host to a show stopping Lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Denis. Poirier enters the contest on the back of a loss to Justin Gaethje for the BMF belt.
After losing his promotional debut, Saint-Denis has racked up five victories, all coming by the way of strikes or submissions. In his last outing, the Frenchman stole to show with a highlight reel head kick against Matt Frevola. A win over Poirier would not only be the biggest of his career, but will also shoot Saint-Denis up the rankings and into the title picture.
Michael 'Venom' Page will make his highly anticipated promotional debut against the fan-friendly Kevin Holland in a Welterweight contest.
In another Welterweight war, former title challenger Gilbert Burns returns to the fold against a surging Jack Della Maddalena, who hasn't lost a contest since 2016!
Closing out the main card, former UFC Bantamweight champion Petr Yan will look to work his way back to title contention when he faces Yadong Song
