A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion (also a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion ) Jon Jones and former two-time champion Stipe Miocic is expected to headline this event.[ 2] They were previously expected to headline UFC 295 last November, but Jones withdrew due to a pectoral muscle injury.[ 3] Current interim champion Tom Aspinall is expected to serve as backup and potential replacement for this fight.[ 4]
A five-round lightweight rematch between former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira and former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion (also a former UFC lightweight title challenger) Michael Chandler is expected to take place as the co-main event.[ 5] The pairing previously met for the vacant championship at UFC 262 in May 2021 which Oliveira won by second round TKO.[ 6]
