UFC Featherweight Champion Ilja Topuria would defend his title against Max Holloway in the main event of this show.

Khamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker were slated to headline UFC Saudi Arabia Fight Night in June 2024. However, Chimaev was hospitalized due to illness and had to pull out of the bout. The match was then rebooked as a 5-round co-main event for this event.
