The faces of three former UFC champions are front and center for UFC on FOX 30.

An official poster was released Thursday for the event, which takes place at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, on July 28.

Eddie Alvarez, Jose Aldo and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, ex-titleholders in the lightweight, featherweight, and strawweight divisions respectively, are prominently featured:

In the main event, Alvarez and Dustin Poirier will look to settle the score after their first meeting in May of last year ended in a controversial no-contest.

The co-headliner sees Aldo looking to get out of a 1-3 funk against featherweight slugger Jeremy Stephens, who is currently on a three-fight win streak, while another key main card bout has Jedrzejczyk appearing in her first non-title fight since December 2014. She faces strawweight contender Tecia Torres.
