Background
The event will mark the promotion's tenth visit to Anaheim and first since UFC 270 in January 2022.[1]
A UFC Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria is expected to headline the event.[2] This bout was originally expected to headline UFC 297 one month prior but was pushed back after Volkanovski was pulled to face UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 294.[3][4]
A light heavyweight bout between Zhang Mingyang and Brendson Ribeiro was originally scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutiérrez.[5] However, the bout was postponed due to the event's change of location and fighters facing visa issues and rescheduled for this event.[6][7]
