Background
[edit]A middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Sean Strickland served as the event headliner.[3]
A light heavyweight bout between Danilo Marques and Jailton Almeida was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodríguez.[4] However, the bout was rescheduled due to Marques getting injured and it is now expected to take place at this event.[5]
A flyweight bout between Malcolm Gordon and Denys Bondar was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate.[6] However, Gordon withdrew from the event due to undisclosed reasons and the pairing was rescheduled for this date.[7]
Ian Heinisch was expected to face Sam Alvey in a middleweight bout.[8] Heinisch pulled out due to undisclosed reasons in late December and was replaced by Phil Hawes.[9] In turn, Hawes withdrew from the bout during fight week due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Brendan Allen, with the bout being moved up to light heavyweight.[10]
At the weigh-ins, Steven Peterson weighed in at 149 pounds, 3 pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at a catchweight and he was fined 30% of his purse, which went to his opponent Julian Erosa.[11]
