All of the contests, including the main event, will be three rounds long and, like usual, feature five minutes per round.
The bouts will take place in Las Vegas at the UFC's Apex Center, which is the usual venue for these events. The headliner will see Charlie Campbell take on Chris Duncan at lightweight, with Duncan aiming to become one of only a handful of fighters from Scotland to compete in the octagon.
Both Campbell and Duncan have previously competed in Bellator, with the two fighters going undefeated in the organization. The American had two bouts under that banner, while Duncan had three. None of their fights made it past the second round in the Bellator cage.
