The event will take place during the UFC's annual International Fight Week.
A UFC Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Cody Garbrandt and former champion T.J. Dillashaw is expected to take place at this event.
A UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Amanda Nunes and multiple-time muay thai world champion Valentina Shevchenko is also scheduled for this event. The pairing met previously in March 2016 at UFC 196, with Nunes winning by unanimous decision.
