UFC returns to Phoenix for the second-consecutive year with a blockbuster championship doubleheader. Headlining the event will be Charles Oliveira facing No. 1 ranked contender Justin Gaethje. In the co-main event, UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas looks to avenge her loss against No. 2 ranked Carla Esparza. Also on the card, top lightweights aim to make a statement as No. 5 contender Michael Chandler takes on No. 7 Tony Ferguson.

Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje are prolific bonus hunters with 19 performance bonuses and nine Fight of the Nights between them. Shockingly, Oliveira missed weight on Friday and will be stripped of his UFC lightweight championship. Only Gaethje will be eligible to leave the Octagon as UFC lightweight champion.
UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas is a prolific rematch specialist, winning three career rematches (and five of six fights overall) against Zhang Weili, Jessica Andrade and Joanna Jedrzejczyk. A sniper-like finisher, Namajunas has the opportunity to extend that unique record to four against title challenger Carla Esparza, the woman who defeated her for the inaugural UFC strawweight title in 2014.
