The co-main event features two strawweight contenders, Tatiana Suarez (USA) and Virna Jandiroba.

Americans on the Card
Seven Americans are set to fight on this card. Tatiana Suarez stays unbeaten in her UFC career and keeps pushing for a strawweight title shot in the co-main event. Andre Petroski looks to build on his recent form at middleweight, while Elijah Smith, Alvin Hines, Mitch Raposo, Austin Bashi and Lucas Brennan all fight on the preliminary card.
What is at Stake
Cortes-Acosta cannot afford a third straight loss without sliding out of heavyweight contention, while Walker is chasing his longest win streak in years after stopping Parkin. Suarez remains unbeaten across her UFC run and keeps building her case for a strawweight title shot against Jandiroba, a former title challenger and a dangerous grappler.
Several other main card bouts carry real stakes for their participants. Andre Petroski looks for consistency at middleweight against Lithuania’s Mantas Kondratavičius, while Wellington Turman is chasing a second straight win against Seokhyeon Ko. The Meta APEX is once again hosting one of the UFC’s regular Fight Night cards between numbered pay-per-view events, a format the promotion now runs almost every week.
On the preliminary card, the women’s flyweight matchup between Karine Silva and Gabriella Fernandes and the women’s bantamweight bout between Priscila Cachoeira and Nina Milošević give two more fighters a chance to climb an increasingly crowded division.
