MMA fans expect that the landmark pay-per-view event will stand out in terms of star power and matchups. Several fascinating fights have been announced thus far, but the UFC has yet to determine a suitable main event.

In response to MMA Orbit's X post, former UFC two-division title challenger Chael Sonnen wrote:
''Translation- I have a whole bunch of guys under contract who told me from the day before I signed them that they would like the biggest opportunities possible and that they’ll fight anybody. Turns out my biggest event of all time was excluded and when they said they would fight anybody they meant, anybody they deem weak.''
