UFC 263 is stacked with three fights worthy of a headliner spot. For the first time in UFC history, a non-title fight taking place outside of the main event will be contested over five rounds, as Nate Diaz returns for the first time since 2019 to fight contender Leon Edwards in a 25-minute fight. A win for Edwards could get him a title shot in his next fight.
UFC 263 also has two title fights, which are both rematches. The first title fight is a flyweight title bout between champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno. Figueiredo and Moreno previously fought to a draw in a classic fight at UFC 256 in December 2020.
