Delija, a former PFL heavyweight tournament winner, debuted to immediate success against Marcin Tybura at UFC Paris. 'Walking Trouble' put his power on display, walking through Tybura in just over two minutes. It was an impressive victory considering Tybura's ability to knock back contenders.

As for Acosta, 'Salsa Boy' had a five-fight streak ended by Sergei Pavlovich in August. This would still be an opportunity for Acosta to secure a title fight with an impressive victory. Regardless, a win for either man would surely guarantee their shot at the champion.
