The first of the co-main events sees Alexandre Pantoja defending the Flyweight title against Joshua Van. Pantoja comes in with twice as many UFC fights under his belt and twice as many wins, along with a slight advantage in reach and leg reach. Van is 24 and 11 years younger than the champion, but he has seven knockout wins to only eight for Pantoja. However, the older fight does have 10 more wins by submission with 12 on his career, and eight more first round finishes with 10.

The second main event is for Merab Dvalishvili’s Bantamweight Title, and it’s a rematch of a March 2023 fight against Petr Yan. Dvalishvili won the first bout by unanimous decision after getting more than twice as many strikes (202 to 87) and 10 more takedowns, as Yan only took him down once. The third round was technically the closest in terms of strikes landed, but Dvalishvili still doubled up Yan in that round, compared to the first when Yan landed 20 strikes to Dvalishvili’s 35.
