In the co-main event, the No. 3 ranked featherweight, Yair Rodriguez, will have a rematch with No. 4 Brian Ortega. They previously faced off at UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs Rodriguez in 2022, where Rodriguez secured a TKO victory over Ortega due to injury in the first round. Remarkably, that was Ortega’s most recent fight, while Rodriguez’s last bout was a featherweight title shot against former champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 290.
