Headlining the card will be the bantamweight rematch and 135-pound title fight pitting reigning division kingpin Sean O’Malley against bitter rival Marlon Vera.
UFC will roll out the A-team for its broadcast and commentary duties.
Longtime play-by-play man Jon Anik leads the cageside charge, alongside color commentary legend Joe Rogan and former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier.
