The UFC returns home to Las Vegas, NV after a successful UFC 299 event in Miami, FL. Now the gears have shifted to a card headlined by No. 9 ranked Tai Tuivasa and No. 10 ranked Marcin Tybura.

Tuivasa is looking to get back in the win column coming from a three-fight losing streak. His most recent losses were to Ciryl Gane, Sergei Pavlovich, and Alexander Volkov all by finish. He is in a must-win situation if he wants to remain in the top 10 and even the UFC.

Tybura is coming off a loss of his own but isn't in as dire a position as Tuivasa. Tybura lost to current UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall but won two prior to that. He's likely hoping for a win over Tuivasa in order to climb higher in the heavyweight rankings.

The co-main event is a welterweight scrap between two unranked fighters in Bryan Battle and Ange Loosa.

Highly touted prospect Charalampos Grigoriou will open the card versus Chad Anheliger for his UFC debut.
