Headlining the event will be middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (20-1) fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand as he looks to fend off #3 ranked contender Marvin Vettori (17-4-1) fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif. by way of Mezzocorona, Italy.

The odds may seem high (-250) as per sportsbettingdime.com for Adesanya but they don’t really see a path to victory for Vettori. On the feet, Adesanya is such a masterful striker, while Vettori doesn’t have the best footwork and he leaves his head on the centerline to get picked apart.

In the co-main event, flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo (20-1-1) fighting out of Condor Belem, Para, Brazil, and #1 contender Brandon Moreno (18-5-2) fighting out of Tijuana, Mexico seek to settle the score following their thrilling majority draw in December.
