Background

edit

A middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Joe Pyfer headlined the event.[3]

A middleweight bout between Rodolfo Vieira and Armen Petrosyan took place at the event.[4] The pairing was previously scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Almeida vs. Lewis, but the bout was scrapped after Petrosyan became ill backstage during the event.[5]

Lerone Murphy was expected to face Dan Ige in a featherweight bout at the event.[6] However, Murphy pulled out in mid January due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Andre Fili.[7][8]

Shayilan Nuerdanbieke was expected to meet Hyder Amil in a featherweight bout at the event, but he pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Melsik Baghdasaryan.[9][10] In turn, Baghdasaryan pulled out on fight week due to injury and was replaced by Fernie Garcia.[11]

Robert Bryczek and Albert Duraev were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at this event.[12] However, Duraev pulled out due to visa issues and was briefly replaced by Dylan Budka, but medical issues prevented him from competing. Bryczek faced Ihor Potieria instead.[13][14] At the weigh-ins, Potieria weighed in at 187.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the middleweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight with Potieria forfeiting 20 percent of his purse, which went to Bryczek.[15]

A lightweight bout between Damir Hadžović and Bolaji Oki was expected to take place at the event.[16] However, Hadžović withdrew due to visa issues and was replaced by Timothy Cuamba.[17]
