The card for UFC on ESPN 7 will showcase some of the top fighters from the UFC, with a Heavyweight clash in the main event of epic proportions as Alistair Overeem takes on Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Kilburn was almost signed by the company in 2018, but a loss to Bobby Moffett saw him unable to join the company.

Billy Quarantillo is heading into this fight on the back of a five-fight win streak and is sure to give Kilburn a run for his money in both of their debuts in the UFC.
