In the main event,  Henry “The Messenger” Cejudo, 32, of Phoenix, Arizona, USA and Marlon “Magic” Moraes, 30, of Toms River, New Jersey, USA will compete for the vacant UFC Bantamweight Championship title.

On March 20, 2019, TJ “The Viper” Dillashaw, 33, of Denver, Colorado, USA vacated the UFC Bantamweight Championship title due to a failed drug test in relation to his recent loss to Cejudo. The two competed in the main event of “UFC Fight Night 143” at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, USA on January 19, 2019.

Cejudo is the reigning UFC Flyweight Champion. He holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 14 wins and 2 losses.

On the other hand, Moraes has 22 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw. He is the number one UFC bantamweight contender.
