Main event: Blachowicz vs. Adesanya
Three years removed from his UFC debut, Adesanya, the reigning middleweight champion, is looking to become the eighth two-division champion in promotion history and just fifth to hold two titles simultaneously. To do so, he’ll have to defeat light heavyweight champ Jan Blachowicz, who’s on a four-fight winning streak, making his first title defense.
Co-main event: Nunes vs. Anderson

Nunes enters with an 11-fight winning streak; she hasn’t lost since Sept. 27, 2014 to Cat Zingano.
