The UFC 319 main card has been revealed. Sort of.
Next month, the UFC heads to Chicago for the first time in six years for a show headlined by the middleweight title fight between champion Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev. With the event just a few weeks away, on Saturday night, during the UFC 318 broadcast, the world’s leading MMA promotion unveiled the full main card for the next pay-per-view event, with one major exception.
While the main event is the aforementioned du Plessis vs. Chimaev fight, per the UFC broadcast the co-main event is still not official, with the graphic showing “TBD vs. TBD” as holding that spot.

There have been rumors recently that a previously booked featherweight bout between Movsar Evloev and Aaron Pico may be moved to the card, after it fell through for UFC Abu Dhabi next Saturday, but those are still unconfirmed at this point.
Also on the main card, Geoff Neal and Carlos Prates face off in a battle of ranked welterweights, former middleweight title challenger Jared Cannonier takes on Michael “Venom” Page, and opening the show, flyweights Tim Elliott and Kai Asakura throw down.
UFC 319 takes place Aug. 16 at United Center in Chicago.
