Magomedov enters the fight carrying a 4-3 record inside the UFC. The matchup represents a significant step up in visibility for the middleweight, who will look to build on his promotional record against a veteran opponent in a headlining slot.
Oleksiejczuk, nicknamed "Hussar," brings a wealth of experience to the main event. The 31-year-old Polish fighter holds an overall professional record of 22-10 and has compiled a UFC record of 10-7-1 NC across his promotional career. Standing six feet tall with a 74-inch reach, the southpaw out of Akademia Sportow Walki Wilanow is one of the more active strikers in the division. His numbers back that reputation — he lands 5.85 significant strikes per minute at a 53 percent accuracy rate, elite output for the middleweight division. He also contributes modestly on the ground, averaging 1.02 takedowns per 15 minutes.

- A win for Magomedov over a seasoned UFC veteran would be the most significant result of his promotional career to date
