Sean Strickland, Dan Ige, Punahele Soriano, Roman Kopylov, Ketlen Vieira, Raquel Pennington, Umar Nurmagomedov and Raoni Barcelos are in the main event. Priscila Cachoeira is in a pre-fight match against Sijara Eubanks.

Strickland vs. Imavov is the new main event of UFC 67. Strickland is a high-volume striker with solid and calculated defense maneuvers. The Russian is incredibly precise with his strikes and his versatility will keep Strackland guessing throughout the five rounds. Imvav is 27 and Strankland, 185.

Ige has lost three straight fights and Jackson has won four straight. Jackson is a contender and has had a resurgence since his return to the octagon in late 2020. Ige will need to be sharp for the entire fight to come out on top.

Soriano is one of the hardest hitters at 185 pounds. Kopylov is a fighter who can't take risks. Soriano's kryptonite has been those who stall him out.

Bantamweight bout features Vieira vs. Pennington. Vieiras has won over former champions Holly Holm and Miesha Tate. She has also had a resurgence with four straight wins. The Brazilian is a national wrestling champion. Pennington has shown off some of the best and most underappreciated takedown defense amongst all female fighters.

Nurmagomedov is the future of the bantamweight division. Barcelos was once considered an underrated talent, but he got exposed. Nurmagomomedova is a better fighter than Barcellos.

Cachoeira is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. She has a good takedown defense. Eubanks is Brazilian and has grappling wins over the likes of Mackenzie Dern. Cachoira has good power and an incredible chin. She's called Zombie Girl for a reason.
