The event, which streams entirely on UFC Fight Pass, takes place at Allphones Arena in Sydney.
Although the event takes place Saturday in Australia, the event streams live on Friday night in North America due to the time difference. The first fight kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT), and the four-fight main card commences at 10 p.m. ET.
The main event features a grudge match as 4-1 favorite and former Strikeforce champion Luke Rockhold (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) takes on octagon vet and budding rival Michael Bisping (25-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC). Rockhold is ranked No. 6 and Bisping is No. 12 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings.
