Although the loss of a planned title fight between champ Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier hurt next month’s UFC 178 card, the lineup clearly has some depth.

How much? Consider that former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, rising lightweight contender Jorge Masvidal and veteran Patrick Cote, who’s on a three-fight UFC winning streak, all are slated for the night’s preliminary card.

UFC 178 takes place Sept. 27 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

After an injury forced Jones to delay his title with Cormier and pushed it UFC 182 on Jan. 3, UFC flyweight Demetrious Johnson and challenger Chris Cariaso (17-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) were moved from UFC 177’s co-headliner to UFC 178’s headliner.

Bolstering the lineup and co-headlining the card is the UFC’s latest high-profile signing: Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez (25-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who meets contender Donald Cerrone (24-6 MMA, 11-3 UFC). And in another featured main-card bout, featherweight rivals Conor McGregor (15-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) and Dustin Poirier (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) clash.

Rounding out the PPV portion of the night are fights that will impact their respective divisions’ title pictures: middleweights Tim Kennedy (18-4 MMA, 3-0 UFC) vs. Yoel Romero (8-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) and bantamweights Cat Zingano (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Amanda Nunes (9-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC).

The four-bout FOX Sports 1 lineup includes Cruz (19-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) vs. fellow bantamweight Takeya Mizugaki (20-7-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC), Masvidal (27-8 MMA, 4-1 UFC) vs. lightweight James Krause (21-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC), Cote (20-8 MMA, 7-8 UFC) vs. fellow welterweight striker Stephen Thompson (9-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), and welterweights Brian Ebersole (50-16-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) vs. John Howard (22-9 MMA, 6-4 UFC).

The two-bout UFC Fight Pass stream features lightweights Kevin Lee(8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Jon Tuck (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and bantamweights Manny Gamburyan (13-8 MMA, 4-6 UFC) vs. Cody Gibson (12-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC).
