What's at stake
Two belts. Flyweight champion Joshua Van headlines with his third title defence, against Portugal's Manel Kape, a former Rizin champion. In the co-main event, the interim welterweight title goes to the winner of Carlos Prates (24-7) vs Michael Morales, unbeaten in 19 fights. Reigning champion Islam Makhachev declined to fight in January; according to Dana White, he had verbally agreed to face Prates. The Toronto winner will meet him later in 2027.
Prates has three straight stoppage wins, over Geoff Neal, Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena. Morales has finished his last three opponents, Neil Magny, Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady, inside the first round.
