Main Event: Jack Hermansson vs Marvin Vettori preview

Jack Hermansson will look to stake a claim for a future title shot, while Marvin Vettori gets the big name opponent he's been calling for in this weekend's main event.

"The Joker" rebounded from his loss to Jared Cannonier last September with an impressive first-round submission win over Kelvin Gastelum in July. Now 6-1 over his last seven fights, Hermansson is tasked with taking on one of the hottest fighters on the roster at the moment.

Vettori enters on a three-fight winning streak and brandishing a 15-4-1 record overall. Last time out, the talented 27-year-old secured a first-round submission win over Karl Roberson after navigating multiple cancellations and postponements.

Co-main Event: Ovince Saint Preux vs Jamahal Hill

In the co-main event, it's "Veteran vs. Prospect" in the light heavyweight division as Ovince Saint Preux as DWCS graduate Jamahal Hill.

In his eighth year on the UFC roster, Saint Preux remains one of the veteran litmus tests in the light heavyweight division. In his last two appearances, "OSP" has dispatched relative newcomers Michal Oleksiejczuk and Alonzo Menifield. He will look to do the same again this weekend.

On the backdrop of earning a UFC contract, Hill earned an impressive second-round stoppage victory at the UFC Apex last summer as he scored a decision win over Darko Stosic in January and then delivered blistering first-round finish of Klidson Abreu in May that was later overturned to a no contest.

Now, "Sweet Dreams" looks to continue his ascent up the light heavyweight ladder by taking out one of the veteran fighters in the division.
