bout during the UFC 281 event at Madison Square Garden on November 12, 2022 in New York City. On Thursday, April 18, the rest of the Newark, New Jersey card was finalized. Islam Makhachev will defend his lightweight championship vs. veteran and former interim champion Dustin Poirier in the main event.

The fight order hasn’t been determined below the main and co-main events, but based on rankings and status, it would seem likely that J. Almeida-Romanov, Dolidze-Hernandez, and perhaps Sumudaerji-Van will also be part of the PPV broadcast.This card is extremely top-heavy with the title fight and Strickland-Costa, but that’s also being said with the mammoth UFC 300 still fresh in our minds.
