Background

This event is expected to be the final UFC broadcast under the U.S. media rights agreement with ESPN as beginning in 2026, UFC live event coverage will transition to Paramount Skydance. [1]

A flyweight bout between former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger (also former LFA Flyweight Champion) Brandon Royval and former RIZIN Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape is scheduled to headline the event.
