UFC 323, the final numbered card of the ESPN era, is built around a pair of championship fights. In the main event, Merab Dvalishvili (21-4 MMA, 14-2 UFC) puts bantamweight gold on the line in a rematch with Petr Yan (19-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC), while the co-headliner sees flyweight king Alexandre Pantoja (30-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) clash with Joshua Van (15-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC).
That’s not all, though. The main card also includes three former UFC champions in action: Brandon Moreno (23-8-2 MMA, 11-4-2 UFC) continues his quest back to flyweight gold vs. Tatsuro Taira (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), former 135-pound king Henry Cejudo (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) meets Payton Talbott (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in a potential retirement fight, while former light heavyweight titleholder Jan Blachowicz (29-11-1 MMA, 12-8-1 UFC) faces Bogdan Guskov (18-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
