Before those marquee matchups, the prelims offer must-watch action of their own, capped off by a middleweight clash between Jack Hermansson (24-8) and Gregory Rodrigues (16-6). Hermansson enters the fight ranked No. 16 in the UFC's middleweight division, while Rodrigues holds the No. 20 spot. With both fighters looking to climb the rankings, expect fireworks before the main card even begins. Hermansson is coming off a victory, but that was back in February of 2024. The veteran from Sweden hasn't fought since that unanimous decision victory over Joe Pyfer, one in which Hermansson was headlining in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rodrigues, meanwhile, is coming off a brutal loss, a technical knockout defeat at the violent hands of Jared Cannonier on Feb. 15, 2025. For what it's worth, Rodrigues' bout against Cannonier was labeled Fight of the Night for that event. Other fights on the prelims include Tracy Cortez taking on Viviane Araujo, Terrance McKinney facing Viacheslav Borshchev, and Niko Price duking it out against Jacobe Smith, all of which promise to deliver the action and excitement on Saturday night.

The Belfast rap group were performing at the festival on Saturday afternoon, June 28.

In the run up to the festival, several politicians including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for Kneecap to be removed from the line-up. When asked by The Sun if the band should perform at the Worthy Farm festival in Somerset, the Prime Minister said: "No, I don't, and I think we need to come down really clearly on this. "This is about the threats that shouldn't be made, I won't say too much because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate." During their performance on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury, member Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said: "The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer."
