Additional bouts include Sean O’Malley versus Aiemann Zahabi at bantamweight, Josh Hokit against Derrick Lewis at heavyweight, Mauricio Ruffy facing Michael Chandler at lightweight, Bo Nickal taking on Kyle Daukaus at middleweight, and Diego Lopes against Steve Garcia at featherweight.
The fights begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The card streams live on Paramount+ in the United States. Earlier in the week, a press conference and ceremonial weigh in are scheduled.
