Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes (featherweight)

Anthony Smith vs. Roman Dolidze (light heavyweight)

Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Macy Chiasson (women's bantamweight)

Ian Machado Garry vs. Michael Page (welterweight)

Alex Pereira (10-2)

Alex Pereira became a two-division champion by stopping Jiri Prochazka in their first title showdown at UFC 295. 'Poatan' defended the gold by knocking out Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 and is set to make a quick turnaround for his second title defense against a former foe.

Jiri Prochazka (30-4-1D)

Jiri Prochazka was handed his sole UFC defeat by Alex Pereira in their first meeting last November. The Czech fighter rebounded in impressive fashion, dispatching Aleksandar Rakic via second-round TKO on the same card Pereira last defended his belt. 'BJP' now looks to reclaim the 205-pound crown and avenge his only loss inside the octagon.

Brian Ortega (16-3-1NC)

Brian Ortega dropped a hard-fought unanimous decision to then-featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 266. In his next outing, 'T-City' faced another setback as he sustained a shoulder injury early in his fight against Yair Rodriguez, resulting in a TKO loss.

However, Ortega rebounded by submitting Rodriguez in a rematch last February and is looking to get back into the title picture with a statement victory.

Diego Lopes (24-6)

Despite falling short in his UFC debut, Diego Lopes earned praise for his impressive performance against unbeaten contender Movsar Evloev at UFC 288. The Brazilian bounced back with three straight first-round finishes. Lopes, 29, entered the rankings with his recent TKO of Sodiq Yusuff at UFC 300 in April.

Anthony Smith (38-19)

Anthony Smith rebounded from his TKO loss to Khalil Rountree with a first-round submission win over Vitor Petrino at UFC 301. 'Lionheart' will hope to keep the momentum going when he faces a struggling opponent on Saturday.

Roman Dolidze (12-3)

After going on a four-fight win streak, with three finishes, Roman Dolidze finds himself on a two-fight skid. The Georgian most recently dropped a majority decision to Nassourdine Imavov in February.

Mayra Bueno Silva (10-3-1D-1NC)

Mayra Bueno Silva submission victory over Holly Holm at the UFC Vegas 77 headliner was turned into a no-contest after failing a drug test. 'Sheetara' dropped a unanimous decision to Raquel Pennington in her subsequent outing where the pair battled for the vacant women's bantamweight title.

Macy Chiasson (9-3)

Macy Chiasson will enter this fight hoping to build on her impressive first-round submission victory over Pannie Kianzad in March. The Lousiana native has alternated wins and losses in her last four fights.

Ian Machado Garry (14-0)

Ian Machado Garry managed to remain undefeated by edging out a split-decision victory over Geoff Neal at UFC 298 earlier this year. The Irishman will hope to extend his record to a perfect 15-0 when he faces another formidable opponent this weekend.

Michael Page (22-2)

Michael Page outpointed fan-favorite Kevin Holland in his promotional debut at UFC 299. The former Bellator star will look to produce another convincing victory against an unbeaten opponent and propel his career in the promotion.

Marc-Andre Barriault is looking to rebound from his split decision loss to Chris Curtis in January. The Canadian has gone 2-2 is his last four trips to the octagon.

Cub Swanson is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Hakeem Dawodu last August. The Californian is also 2-2 in his last four outings.

Andre Fili was viciously knocked out by Dan Ige last time out in February. 'Touchy' has alternated losses and wins across his last five fights.

Jean Silva (12-2)

Jean Silva made an emphatic UFC debut in January, dispatching Westin Wilson via TKO. The Brazilian is on a nine-fight win streak, with all but one of those victories coming via first-round stoppage.

Payton Talbott (8-0)

Payton Talbott earned his UFC contract by outpointing Reyes Cortez Jr. at Dana White's Contender Series last August. Three months later, Talbott submitted Nick Aguirre in his octagon debut and followed that up with a TKO of Cameron Saaiman in March.

Yanis Ghemmouri (12-2)

Yanis Ghemmouri's UFC debut didn't go to plan as the Frenchman suffered a vicious TKO defeat against William Gomis in September. The loss snapped his nine-fight win streak.
