Makhachev (26-1) prepared during his camp for Tsarukyan, who he defeated the Octagon in 2019. Since his unanimous decision victory, the Dagestani fighter has claimed the lightweight title from Charles Oliveira and defended it three times--twice against Alexander Volkanovski and once versus Dustin Poirier. Makhachev enters the fight weighing 154.5 pounds and on a 14-fight win streak.
Meanwhile, this marks the biggest fight in the career of Moicano (20-5-1). The outspoken lightweight has become a fan favorite and is on an impressive four-fight win streak that includes wins over Drew Dober and Benoit St. Denis. The Brazilian is getting his first shot at championship gold at 35 years old. "Money Moicano" stepped on the scale at 155 pounds on the dot.
