Middleweight champion Adesanya will hope for another big defence of his title when he goes up against Brazilian star Costa.
Both fighters are coming off the back of victories over Yoel Romero in recent months and are sure to provide fireworks despite the lack of a crowd in the arena.
They are backed up on the night with a stack of solid fighters and the fight card boasts a big title showdown between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz.
The pair will battle it out for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight belt, the first time a new king will be crowned since Jon Jones claimed the belt in 2011.
