The Main Event: Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington

While the British interest is firmly on Pimblett, the night's headline act is a welterweight championship grudge match. Birmingham's own champion, Leon 'Rocky' Edwards, puts his title on the line against the controversial and outspoken challenger, Colby 'Chaos' Covington. This long-simmering rivalry promises to be a explosive conclusion to the evening.

Ferguson vs. Pimblett: A Classic Crossroads Bout

The co-main event presents a fascinating stylistic and narrative clash. Tony 'El Cucuy' Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion known for his unorthodox and relentless style, is looking to snap a disappointing six-fight losing skid. A victory is crucial for the 39-year-old's legacy.

Standing across from him will be the charismatic and undefeated Paddy Pimblett. The Scouser has taken the UFC by storm with his personality and finishing ability. However, his controversial decision win in his last outing has placed a spotlight on this performance. A decisive victory over a name like Ferguson would propel 'The Baddy' into the upper echelons of the lightweight division.
