Pereira (13–4, 10–3 UFC) returns to the Octagon for the first time since getting knocked out by Ciryl Gane at the White House in June. He remains at heavyweight, with his sights set on becoming the first three-division champion in UFC history.

Pavlovich (21–3, 9–3 UFC) has won three straight fights, punctuated by his 39-second knockout win over Tallison Teixeira in May. He’s eager to return to the heavyweight apex after Tom Aspinall stopped him for the interim belt in November 2023.

In the main event, lightweight star Charles Oliveira will defend his BMF title against Diego Lopes.
