Ringwalks for the main event are expected to be around 12:30 a.m. ET, but are subject to change depending on the fights on the undercard.

The main event as seen a significant change due to Oliveira failing to make weight on Friday. He was stripped of his title and now it is vacant. Gaethje can win the belt in the bout, but Oliveira cannot.
