Yes, there is a UFC card this weekend as the UFC returns to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for a Fight Night event. UFC Rio will mark the promotion's first visit to the Brazilian capital since UFC 301 in 2024.
In the main event, former lightweight champion and fan favorite Charles Oliveira will defend his top-five ranking against rising contender Mateusz Gamrot. This bout will be Oliveira's return to competition after UFC 317, where he suffered a first-round knockout defeat against Ilia Topuria in a vacant lightweight title fight.
Meanwhile, former two-time flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo will take a significant step down in competition to face No. 15-ranked bantamweight contender Montel Jackson. Figueiredo is coming off consecutive defeats against top contenders Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen. He will be seeking a victory against Jackson this weekend to get back in the win column.
Additionally, welterweight veteran Vicente Luque will face Joel Alvarez on the main card.
