The co-main event is a light heavyweight bout between former champion Jan Blachowicz and Navajo Stirling.
- Blachowicz (29-11-2) of Poland returns after fighting Bogdan Guskov to a majority draw last December.
- Unbeaten Stirling (10-0) of New Zealand defeated Ion Cutelaba by second-round TKO in his previous outing in June.
Stirling took the fight on short notice, replacing Guskov, who was originally scheduled to face Blachowicz in their rematch. Guskov was moved to face Magomed Ankalaev a week earlier at UFC Abu Dhabi as a replacement for Khalil Rountree Jr.
