Championship gold will also be on the line in the co-main event of the evening, which will see men's bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo defend his title division's former ruler Dominick Cruz.
A heavyweight slugfest between heavy hitters Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik is also on deck, with the victor of the contest likely to earn the first crack at the winner of Stipe Miocic's trilogy fight with Daniel Cormier.
A barnburner between Jeremy Stephens and the ever-improving Calvin Kattar is also on tap, as well as a tasty welterweight clash between Vicente Luque and Niko Price.
Despite the coronavirus laying waste to the original card, which was scheduled to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the UFC have still managed to put on a stellar event.
