Holloway returns to action after a pair of controversial losses to Alexander Volkanovski. The former 145-pound champion aims to put himself right back in line for a title fight, but he first has to turn back the challenge of the surging Kattar. 

The No. 6 ranked Kattar is looking to win his third straight fight and faces arguably his toughest challenge against the former champion. He heads into this fight with wins over Dan Ige and Jeremy Stephens. A win over Holloway would likely set him up for title opportunity. 

In the co-main event, a battle of long-tenured UFC fighters takes place as Carlos Condit and Matt Brown will battle in a long-overdue welterweight showdown over a decade in the making.
