Main event: Edson Barboza
Considered one of the most dangerous strikers in MMA history, Barboza (24-11 MMA, 18-11 UFC) has been in the cage with some of the best lightweights and featherweights in the game, too. After a rough stretch that saw him drop five of six fights, the Brazilian has won four of his past six with three bonuses, including back-to-back wins over Billy Quarantillo and Sodiq Yusuff.
Main event: Lerone Murphy
There has been plenty of success for Lerone Murphy (13-0-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC) in the UFC – once he makes his way to the cage. After a draw in his promotional debut in 2019, he’s had five straight wins. But he’s also been plagued by injuries and visa issues in that stretch. When he steps in against Barboza, it will be the first time in 10 months. The Brit was set to return in February against Dan Ige, but had to pull out.
Co-main event: Carlston Harris vs. Khaos Williams
A pair of solid welterweights on the cusp of the rankings will throw down when Carlston Harris (19-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC) takes on Khaos Williams (14-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the co-feature. Harris’ only loss in the UFC came to the highly touted Shavkat Rakhmonov in 2022. He has finishes in three of his four UFC wins, including one against recent $1 million PFL champion Impa Kasanganay and, this past August, a bonus-winning submission of Jeremiah Wells.
After a split decision loss to Randy Brown in May 2022, Williams got back in the win column with a split call win over Rolando Bedoya in May 2023. Now he’ll have what has been his annual May fight against Harris. If he fights against in 2024, it will be his first year with multiple bouts since 2021.
UFC debut: Oumar Sy
Record: 9-0
Opponent: Antonio Trocoli (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Misc.: Sy, from France, comes to the UFC after stints in promotions like KSW and Ares FC. He was set to take on Rodolfo Bellato on Saturday, but will meet Trocoli on short notice, instead. The 6-foot-5 28-year-old has seven of his nine wins by stoppage.
UFC debut: Antonio Trocoli
Record: 12-3
Opponent: Oumar Sy (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Misc.: Trocoli finally has made his way to the UFC. In 2019, the Brazilian got a win on Dana White’s Contender Series, but failed a drug test. It was 28 months until he returned in 2021 with a submission win. In 2022, he was set for his UFC debut against Ovince Saint Preux, but pulled out of the fight and hasn’t fought since. The bout against Sy will be his first fight since November 2021.
