Topping the UFC 311 bill will be pound-for-pound king and Khabib Nurmagomedov protege Islam Makhachev.
Dagestani destroyer Makhachev will look to make his fourth defence of the lightweight title in an eagerly-anticipated rematch against Arman Tsarukyan.
Makhachev got the better of the Armenian assassin in their first meeting nearly six years ago, beating the debutant via unanimous decision.
Bantamweight gold will be on the line in the co-main event of the evening, which will see champion Merab Dvalishvili look to make his first defence of the 135lbs belt.
