Two hard-hitting heavyweights, Derrick Lewis and Chris Daukaus, go head-to-head in Las Vegas.
Lewis will be looking to put himself back into world title contention after a dissapointing TKO loss to Ciryl Gane for the interim title at UFC 256 which ended the 36-year-old's four-fight winning streak.
But while Lewis may have produced a sub-optimal performance in his last bout, he will still pose a difficult test for Daukaus who has earned a main event slot after five consecutive wins.
In the co-main event, Stephen Thompson and Belal Muhammad meet in a welterweight contest where the winner will put themselves into the world title contention.
