In the scheduled main event for UFC 263 UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesenya will look to bounce back and defend his title, after losing his attempt to be a double champ against Jan Blachowicz in March. Facing off against him will be Italy's Marvin Vettori, who's currently ranked #3 in the division and is on a 5 fight win streak having most recently defeated Kevin Holland in April.
For the co-main event, the UFC has tabbed a rematch for the flyweight title, as Brandon Moreno will attempt to dethrone champion Deiveson Figueiredo after earning a draw in a fight of the year contender back in December.
Filling out the card will be a welterweight fight between Belal Muhammed and Damian Maia, a light heavyweight bout between Paul Craig and Jamahal Hill, & finally a lightweight bout between Drew Dober and Brad Riddell.
