Background

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]

A bantamweight bout between Timur Valiev and Daniel Santos was expected to take place at the event. [8] However, in mid-September, Valiev withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Marcelo Rojo. [9] In turn, Santos withdrew for unknown reasons and the bout was scrapped. [10]

A women's flyweight bout between Manon Fiorot and Mayra Bueno Silva took place at this event. [11] The bout was originally scheduled for UFC 266 but was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. [12]

A women's flyweight bout between Luana Carolina and Maryna Moroz was expected to take place at this event. [13] However in late September, Moroz pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Sijara Eubanks. [14] In turn, Eubanks was pulled from the event due to COVID-19 protocols and replaced by Lupita Godinez. Godinez made history as the first fighter to compete twice in the span of seven days, a record in modern UFC, non-tournament fights. The previous fastest turnaround was 10 days, when Khamzat Chimaev competed against John Phillips and Rhys McKee in July 2020. [15]

A light heavyweight bout between Kennedy Nzechukwu and Da Un Jung was expected to take place at the event. [16] However, the bout was postponed to UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodríguez for unknown reasons. [17]

At the weigh-ins, Julian Marquez was pulled from his middleweight bout against Jordan Wright due to "non-COVID health issues." He never made it to the scale, even though his opponent weighed in within the middleweight non-title fight limit. As a result, the bout was cancelled. [18]
