Volkanovski holds the 145-pound gold, while Rodriguez has the interim championship.

The co-main event will feature a UFC Flyweight Championship bout. Titleholder Brandon Moreno will look to finally get a win over Alexandre Pantoja, who has a win over him in the pro ranks and one during their time on "The Ultimate Fighter."

There will also be a pivotal middleweight clash on the main card. It'll be Robert Whittaker taking on Dricus du Plessis. The winner could very well earn a shot at Israel Adesanya's UFC Middleweight Championship.
