Background

A bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Jimi Manuwa headlined the event.[3]

UFC President Dana White initially announced that a bout between Gustafsson and Antônio Rogério Nogueira would be headlining the event.[4] However, just 5 days after the fight was announced news came that Nogueira had to withdraw from the bout due to an injury.[5][6] Later, reports came that said that Nogueira had never agreed to take the fight against Gustafsson at all.[7]

Ross Pearson was expected to face Melvin Guillard in a rematch at the event. However, Pearson pulled out of the bout citing a knee injury and was replaced by Michael Johnson.[8]

Brad Pickett was expected to make his Flyweight debut against Ian McCall on this card.[9] However, on February 13, it was announced that McCall had pulled out of the bout and was replaced by promotional newcomer Neil Seery.[10]

A bout between Roland Delorme and Davey Grant was cancelled after the weigh ins the day before the event due to Grant suffering a torn meniscus.[11][12]
