Tonight, the UFC will make their big return to pay-per-view with two huge title fights.

In the main event, the Light Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as Dominick Reyes hopes to be the man to take the belt off of Jon Jones. While the Light Heavyweight Champion does have a DQ loss on his record, the 32-year-old has yet to lose any match-ups inside the octagon.

Reyes comes into the octagon undefeated himself, as the Light Heavyweight has won all 12 of his fights. The California native is coming off an impressive knockout victory over Chris Weidman at UFC Boston.

In the co-main event of the evening, Valentina Shevchenko will make her return to defend the Women’s Flyweight Championship against Katlyn Chookagian. Shevchenko has successfully defended the belt twice thus far, defeating Jessica Eye (UFC 238) and Liz Carmouche (UFC Uruguay).

Chookagian is entering the contest on a two-fight winning streak. While this is her first crack at UFC gold, the 31-year-old is no stranger to being a champion as she’s a former CFFC Women's Bantamweight and Flyweight Champion.
