Background

A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Derrick Lewis and Chris Daukaus has been slated to headline the event.[2]

A women's strawweight bout between Amanda Lemos and Nina Nunes was scheduled for the event.[3] However, Nunes was removed from the bout due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill.[4]

A middleweight bout between Anthony Hernandez and Dustin Stoltzfus was scheduled for the event.[5] However, Hernandez withdrew from the event due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by newcomer Caio Borralho.[6] In turn, Borralho and Gerald Meerschaert's opponent, Abusupiyan Magomedov, were forced to withdraw from the fight due to visa issues, thus the UFC matched Meerschaert and Stoltzfus against each other for the event.[7]

A women's bantamweight bout between former UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship challenger Raquel Pennington and Julia Avila was scheduled for the event.[8] However, Avila was forced to pull out of the event due to injury.[9] She was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters featherweight winner Macy Chiasson.[10]

A bantamweight bout between Raoni Barcelos and Trevin Jones was scheduled for the event.[11] However, Jones withdrew from the fight due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Victor Henry.[12]
