Background

The event marked the promotion's debut in Des Moines and first visit to the state of Iowa since UFC 26 in June 2000. [2]

A bantamweight bout between former interim UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Cory Sandhagen and former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo headlined the event. [3]

A bantamweight bout between former title challenger Marlon Vera and Mario Bautista was scheduled for this event. [4] However, the bout was moved to UFC 316 for unknown reasons. [5]

A featherweight bout between Trevor Peek and Lee Jeong-yeong was scheduled for this event. [6] However, Peek withdrew from the fight due to a fractured leg and the bout was subsequently cancelled as Lee was rescheduled against a different opponent at UFC 315. [7] [8]

Junior Tafa was expected to face Tuco Tokkos in a light heavyweight bout on the main card. [9] However, Tafa pulled out in late April due to an injury. Subsequently, the promotion announced that Tokkos could not compete at this event due to injury as well. [10] [11] The bout was eventually rescheduled for UFC on ESPN: Lewis vs. Teixeira in July.
