Background

A lightweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Renato Moicano and Chris Duncan headlined the event. ^[2]

A lightweight bout between Tofiq Musayev and Samuel Sanches was scheduled for the event. ^[3] Sanches withdrew for undisclosed reasons, leading to the cancellation of the matchup. Musayev was then rebooked one week earlier at UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer against Ignacio Bahamondes. ^[4]

A middleweight bout between Edmen Shahbazyan and Park Jun-yong was scheduled for the event. ^[5] However, Park had to withdraw due to an injury and the pairing was scrapped. ^{[6] [7]}

A welterweight bout between Charles Radtke and promotional newcomer José Henrique Souza was scheduled for the event. ^[8] However, for undisclosed reasons, Souza withdrew and Radtke was re-booked for UFC 327 one week later with a new opponent. ^[9]

At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight: ^[10]

• Undefeated prospect Rafael Estevam weighed in at 136.5 pounds, half a pound over the bantamweight non-title fight limit.
