This story has now been updated to reflect the addition of Renato Moicano to the main card. One of MMA's biggest stars, Islam Makhachev, is about to ignite the year with a fight against Renato Moicano.

Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) defends his lightweight title in a rematch against Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in Saturday’s main event (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+) at Intuit Dome. Tsarukyan teased a never before seen “secret technique” that he plans on using against Makhachev. However, Makhachev isn’t buying any of his talk.

Arman Tsarukyan's nearly six-year journey to the UFC lightweight title will take a little longer. Tsarukyan suffered an injury two nights before challenging lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 311.
