The first fight on the pay-per-view is a featherweight matchup between former lightweight Charles Oliveira and Cub Swanson.

These two are well rounded fighters who are a threat to finish the fight anywhere it goes, but coming into the fight, Oliveira is the favorite.

Swanson is the more experienced of the two, but Oliveira has been more successful overall.

Charles Oliveira: -225
Cub Swanson: +175

Matt Hamill vs. Roger Hollett

The second fight on the PPV is a light heavyweight matchup, featuring Matt Hamill's first fight since returning from retirement and the UFC debut of Roger Hollett.

Hamill has been out for more than a year, as he retired after suffering a TKO loss to Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 133.

Hollett's last fight was a decision win in Bellator, and he has won five straight counting that fight.

Matt Hamill: -340
Roger Hollett: +260

Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann

The first major fight that fans are excited for is a middleweight matchup between Michael Bisping and Brian Stann.

Bisping is coming into the fight following a closely contested loss to Chael Sonnen at UFC on Fox 2. Prior to that, he had won four straight fights, with two straight finishes.

Stann comes into the fight after a first round knockout of Alessio Sakara. Prior to that, Stann had also lost to Chael Sonnen, although he lost by second round submission.

Brian Stann: +160
Michael Bisping: -200

The first of two title fights is a battle for the first ever UFC flyweight title between Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez.

Both are former title challengers at 135, and will once again be challenging for a title, just 10 pounds lighter.

Benavidez is coming into the fight after a bit of a long layoff, as he knocked out Yasuhiro Urushitani at UFC on FX 2.

Johnson comes into the fight following a unanimous decision victory over Ian McCall at UFC on FX 3, which came after they fought to a draw at UFC on FX 2.

Joseph Benavidez: -275
Demetrious Johnson: +215

Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort

Belfort comes into this fight following two straight wins at middleweight, against Yoshihiro Akiyama and Anthony Johnson.

Jon Jones: -825
Vitor Belfort: +525
