Background
The event was originally linked to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but the promotion eventually decided to move the event from that location.[4] It took place in Phoenix, Arizona. It was the city's first event since UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs. Velasquez in February 2019.[3]
A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Glover Teixeira and former Rizin Light Heavyweight Champion Jiří Procházka was expected to take place at the event.[5] However, the bout was pushed back to UFC 275 for undisclosed reasons.[6]
A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Charles Oliveira and former interim champion Justin Gaethje (also former WSOF Lightweight Champion) headlined the event.[7] At the weigh-ins, Oliveira weighed in at 155.5 pounds, half a pound over the title limit. As a result, upon commencement of the fight, Oliveira was stripped of the title and only Gaethje was eligible to win it.[8]
A UFC Women's Strawweight Championship rematch between current two-time champion Rose Namajunas and former champion (also former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion) Carla Esparza took place at the event.[9] The pairing previously met 7 and a half years prior at The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale for the inaugural championship, which Esparza won via third round submission.[10]
A lightweight bout between Joe Lauzon and former lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone was scheduled for UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Vera.[11] However, the bout was removed from this event.[12] In turn, the bout was cancelled on the day of the event when Cerrone suffered from food poisoning.[13]
Amanda Ribas and former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Michelle Waterson were expected to meet at this event.[14] They were originally expected to meet at UFC 257, but Waterson pulled out of the bout due to undisclosed reasons.[15] They were then rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Daukaus, but an injury forced Waterson out of the pairing once again.[16] Waterson announced in early March that her injury could potentially be "career ending" and would not compete at this event.[17]
A lightweight bout between Michael Johnson and Alan Patrick was expected to take place at the event.[18] However, the bout was pushed back one week to UFC on ESPN: Błachowicz vs. Rakić for undisclosed reasons.[19]
At the weigh-ins, Norma Dumont weighed in at 146.5 pounds, half a pound over the women's featherweight non-title fight limit. Her bout proceeded at catchweight and she was fined 30% of her individual purse, which went to her opponent The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters women's featherweight winner Macy Chiasson.[8]
It was announced during the event's broadcast that former UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame at this year's class.[20]
This event had five split decision bouts tying UFC 222 for the most split decision bouts in UFC history.[21]
