A middleweight bout between Abdul Razak Alhassan and Brunno Ferreira was expected to take place at this event.[13] However, the bout was moved to UFC on ESPN: Strickland vs. Magomedov for unknown reasons.[14]

A flyweight bout between Clayton Carpenter and

Stephen Erceg was expected to take place at this event, but it was postponed due Erceg having visa issues.[15]
