Background
The event marked the promotion's sixth visit to Singapore and first since UFC 275 in June 2022.[2]
A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway and former title challenger Jung Chan-sung served as the event's headliner.[3]
A women's flyweight bout between former UFC Women's Flyweight Championship challenger Taila Santos and Erin Blanchfield took place at this event.[4] They were previously scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Blanchfield but Santos withdrew after her cornermen were denied visas into the United States.[5]
