Check out the official poster for UFC 231 in Toronto with dueling title fights

Like UFC 230 that takes place a month before it, UFC 231 has gone through a little bit of juggling.

But also like UFC 230, it seems to have come out pretty well at the end of things with a pair of title fights.

UFC 231 takes place Dec. 8 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. And now the official poster for the event has been released.

In the main event, featherweight champion Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) takes on unbeaten challenger Brian Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC). Holloway will be fighting for the first time in a year after an injury and health scare took him out of fights earlier this year.

In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) will take on ex-strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for the vacant women’s flyweight title. That fight was on, then off in favor of a Shevchenko-Sijara Eubanks title headliner at UFC 230, then back on for UFC 231 once again.

Check out the UFC 231 poster below, highlighting both title fights.

The UFC 231 lineup includes:

  • Champ Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega – for featherweight title
  • Valentina Shevchenko vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk – for vacant women’s flyweight title
  • Jimi Manuwa vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos
  • Nina Ansaroff vs. Claudia Gadelha
  • Eryk Anders vs. Elias Theodorou
  • Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Gilbert Burns
  • Brad Katona vs. Matthew Lopez
  • Chad Laprise vs. Dhiego Lima
  • Diego Ferreira vs. John Makdessi
  • Kyle Bochniak vs. Hakeem Dawodu
  • Devin Clark vs. Aleksandar Rakic
  • Katlyn Chookagian vs. Jessica Eye
