Background

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Charles Oliveira and former interim champion Dustin Poirier served as the event headliner. [5]

A UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Amanda Nunes (also current UFC Women's Featherweight Champion) and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate bantamweight winner Julianna Peña took place at the event. [6] The pairing was previously scheduled to take place at UFC 265, but it was postponed after Nunes tested positive for COVID-19. [7]

A UFC Flyweight Championship trilogy bout between current champion Brandon Moreno and former champion Deiveson Figueiredo was expected to take place at the event. [8] The pairing first met at UFC 256 on December 12, 2020, resulting in a majority draw (Figueiredo retained the title). [9] Their second meeting took place at UFC 263 on June 12, where Moreno captured the title by submission in the third round. [10] Subsequently, the bout was moved to UFC 270 due to the addition of a welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards. [11] Masvidal later withdrew due to injury in early November and the bout was scrapped. [12]

A flyweight bout between former title challenger Alex Perez and Matt Schnell had been rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Till. [13] They were originally expected to meet at UFC 262, before Perez was forced to pull out due to undisclosed reasons. [14] They were then booked again at UFC on ESPN: Barboza vs. Chikadze, before being shifted to this event. [13] However, the bout was yet again postponed for unknown reasons to this event. [15] At the weigh-ins, Perez weighed in at 126.25 pounds (57.27 kg), which was 0.25 pounds (0.11 kg) over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Shortly after, officials announced that the bout had been cancelled as Schnell was forced to withdraw due to a medical issue. [16]

A women's flyweight bout between Montana De La Rosa and Maycee Barber was expected to take place at the event. [17] However, De La Rosa pulled out of the fight in early October citing injury and she was replaced by Erin Blanchfield. [18] [19] In turn, Barber withdrew in early November due to undisclosed reasons. [20] Miranda Maverick was announced as her replacement. [21]

A middleweight bout between André Muniz and Dricus Du Plessis was scheduled for the event. [22] However, Du Plessis withdrew from the event due to injury and was replaced by Eryk Anders. [23]

A heavyweight bout between Augusto Sakai and Tai Tuivasa was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate, but it was scrapped due to visa issues. [24] It took place at this event instead. [25]

At the weigh-ins, Priscila Cachoeira weighed in at 129 pounds, 3 pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Her bout proceeded at a catchweight and she was fined 30% of her purse, which went to her opponent Gillian Robertson. [16]
