A women's bantamweight bout between Ketlen Vieira and former Strikeforce and UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate was expected to headline the event. [3] However, on September 22, the bout was pulled from the card after Tate tested positive for COVID-19. [4] In turn, a women's featherweight bout between fellow former bantamweight champion Holly Holm and Norma Dumont was elevated to the main event. [5] However on October 6, it was reported that Holm was forced to pull out of the event due to injury. [6] She was replaced by Aspen Ladd. [7]

Godinez made history as the first fighter to compete twice in the span of seven days, a record in modern UFC, non-tournament fights.
