The UFC 270 card is anchored by a heavyweight championship unification fight between reigning champion Francis Ngannou and interim titleholder Ciryl Gane. The event scheduled to take place at the Honda Center, will also feature a flyweight title bout when new king Brandon Moreno faces former champion, Deiveson Figueiredo, for the third straight time.
Evloev worked his UFC record to 5-0 by knocking off Hakeem Dawodu at UFC 263 in June.
Topuria has won three straight in the Octagon and opened eyes with a knockout win over submission Ryan Hall a month later at UFC 264.
