CBS Sports published an updated UFC schedule on July 18 showing several upcoming fight nights and a title event slate through September. The schedule includes UFC Fight Night in Oklahoma City on July 18, followed by cards in Abu Dhabi, Belgrade, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Shanghai, and Paris. It also lists a welterweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330 on Aug. 15 in Philadelphia. The schedule matters because it frames the next stretch of matchmaking across multiple divisions and confirms where the UFC is placing its biggest remaining summer and early-fall cards.

Colby Covington shifted his pre-fight trash talk away from opponent Arman Tsarukyan, targeting Dustin Poirier instead, claiming Poirier has had everything handed to him and never had to grind. When Tsarukyan asked Covington how upset he would be if he lost to him the following day, Covington deflected.
