Background

A UFC Heavyweight Championship title unification bout between current champion Francis Ngannou and interim champion Ciryl Gane will serve as the event headliner.[3]

A UFC Flyweight Championship trilogy bout between current champion Brandon Moreno and former champion Deiveson Figueiredo is expected to take place at the event.[4] The pairing first met at UFC 256 on December 12, 2020 which ended in a majority draw (Figueiredo retained the title).[5] Their second meeting took place at UFC 263 on June 12, 2021 where Moreno captured the title by submission in the third round.[6] The rematch was originally expected to take place at UFC 269 but was moved to this event.[7]

A middleweight bout between Jared Cannonier and Derek Brunson was scheduled for the event.[8] However, the pairing was moved to UFC 271 three weeks later.[9]
