A numbered UFC card in Los Angeles is rare, and this one carries a title rematch at the top. Van and Pantoja headline, and the main card also has Tsarukyan, one of the top lightweights, against Ruffy. The prelims include Marlon Vera and Tai Tuivasa, so the arena fills up well before the main event.
What to expect
A long afternoon and evening: early prelims start at 2:30pm Pacific, prelims at 4:00pm and the main card at 6:00pm. The crowd builds through the day, and the title fight comes last, late in the evening.
