Background
A flyweight rematch between former Rizin Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape and Matheus Nicolau was expected to headline the event.[2] The pairing previously met at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad in March 2021 which Nicolau won by controversial split decision.[3] Their second meeting was previously scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker 2 in January 2024 but Kape missed weight and the bout was subsequently cancelled.[4] In turn, Kape pulled out due to a rib injury and was replaced by former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Alex Perez.[5][6]
A lightweight bout between Road to UFC Season 1 lightweight winner Anshul Jubli and Maheshate Hayisaer was scheduled for this event.[7] However, Jubli pulled out due to unknown reasons and was replaced by Gabriel Benítez.[8]
A lightweight bout between James Llontop and Lando Vannata was scheduled for this event.[9] However, Vannata pulled out for unknown reasons and was replaced by Gabriel Green.[10]
Joel Álvarez and Mateusz Rębecki were expected to meet in a lightweight bout.[11] However, Álvarez pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. It is unclear if a replacement will be sought.[12]
