The UFC returns to Southern California on Saturday with a pair of titles on the line.

At UFC 311, the protege of one of the best to ever do it will continue his own quest to be an all-time great. And the cousin of that same GOAT candidate will try to win a title of his own in the co-feature.

The promotion has released the UFC 311 cold open video. The card features a lightweight title fight between champion Islam Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC), a longtime Khabib Nurmagomedov training partner, and challenger Arman Tsarukyan (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC). Makhachev already holds a win over Tsarukyan.

In the co-feature, bantamweight champ Merab Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) is an underdog against unbeaten challenger Umar Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).

The video is narrated by actor and regular UFC voice-over narrator Ron Perlman and has a backdrop soundtrack of “It’s About Time” by Young the Giant from the 2014 album “Mind Over Matter.”

Check out the UFC 311 cold open video above.
