The lineup features top contenders including Ilia Topuria, Alex Pereira, and Sean O’Malley. UFC President Dana White revealed the bouts live during the UFC 326 broadcast on Paramount+.

White highlighted Pereira’s path to three-division champion status and Topuria’s clash with Justin Gaethje. “We have these guys, like Pereira, who has an opportunity to become a three-weight champion, and Ilia is one of those guys, too, but the timing is right for him against Justin Gaethje — and it should be explosive,” White stated.
