The evening's headline act will see the UFC's most dominant active champion, Demetrious Johnson, put his flyweight championship on the line for a 10th time against Brazil's Wilson Reis.
Mighty Mouse, who has reigned over the division for pinfaves.com five years, is looking to join legendary middleweight Anderson Silva as one of only two men to have defended his title on 10 consecutive occasions.
Johnson, regarded by many as the greatest mixed martial artist in the world today, is an anomaly in an age where belts are changing hands on an almost monthly basis.
To put his achievement into perspective, women's 115-pound queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk is next behind the 30-year-old with just four defences of her strap.

Wilson Reis is bidding to upset the odds in his first shot at UFC championship gold
If the American is to extend his flawless record in the UFC then he must overcome third-ranked Wilson Reis, who has proven himself to be a worthy contender with five victories in his last six outings.
The pairing was originally booked for UFC 201 last year but Johnson pulled out due to an undisclosed injury.
Reis, who relies primarily on his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, is a big underdog here with his opponent notoriously difficult to get to the ground.
Johnson's vastly superior striking and wrestling should make the difference.
