- After injuries and bad weight cuts derailed multiple rematches, TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao will finally square off (fingers crossed) at UFC on FOX 16 in July.
- One of the top prospects in the sport, Aljamain Sterling signalled his entrance into the upper echelon of the division with a submission victory over division stalwart Takeya Mizugaki back in April.
- Bibiano Fernandes returns to the ONE cage against Toni Tauru on July 18. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, Fernandes last fought at ONE FC 23 in December, submitting Dae Hwan Kim via rear-naked choke.
- Riding a nine-fight winning streak of his own, World Series of Fighting bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes is set to put his title on the line against Sheymon Moraes at WSOF 22 on August 1.
