The co-headliner will see a trilogy bout between women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) and Valentina Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC), who fought to a majority draw in their rematch one year ago. Also on the card is a key featherweight bout between Brian Ortega (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Diego Lopes (25-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
