Background

A
While not officially announced by the organization, the promotion was initially targeting a light heavyweight bout between former title challenger Ovince Saint Preux and Ryan Spann to take place at the event.[5] However, promotion matchmakers elected to go in another direction and the pairing was scrapped from the event.[6]
A bantamweight bout between Sean O'Malley and José Alberto Quiñónez was originally scheduled to take place at UFC 229. However, it was scrapped after O'Malley failed a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) drug test.[7] The bout was then expected to take place at this event but it was eventually moved to UFC 248 for unknown reasons.[8]
Dhiego Lima was scheduled to face Alex Morono at the event. However, Lima was forced off the card on January 22 with a neck injury.[9] He was replaced by Kalinn Williams.[10]
Antonio Arroyo was expected to face Trevin Giles in a middleweight bout at the event. However, Arroyo pulled out a day before the event due to medical issues. He was replaced by James Krause, who was already in Houston to corner Youssef Zalal.[12]
