Background[edit]
A lightweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos and Islam Makhachev was expected to take place at UFC 254.[2] On October 8, dos Anjos tested positive for COVID-19 and was pulled from the bout.[3][4] The pairing was left intact and rescheduled to headline this event.[5][6] However on November 8, it was reported that Makhachev was forced to pull from the event due to a staph infection.[7][8] On November 9, UFC officials confirmed that Paul Felder would replace the injured Makhachev.[9]
A middleweight bout between Saparbek Safarov and Julian Marquez was initially slated for August 29 at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Rakić.[10] However, the bout was moved to this event after Safarov faced travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]
A middleweight bout between Andreas Michailidis and Antonio Arroyo was expected to take place at this event.[12] In turn, Eryk Anders replaced Michailidis on October 23 due to undisclosed reasons.[13]
Gabriel Benítez was expected to face Justin Jaynes in a featherweight bout at the event.[14] However, Benítez pulled out on October 27 due to testing positive for COVID-19 and the bout was scratched. As of now, the promotion plans on rebooking the matchup for a later date that hasn’t been determined.[15]
A women’s strawweight bout between former Invicta FC Strawweight Champions Lívia Renata Souza and Kanako Murata was expected to take place at this event.[16]
However, Souza pulled out in early November due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Randa Markos.[17]
A flyweight bout between Jeff Molina and Zarrukh Adashev was briefly expected to take place at this event, but was eventually rescheduled for UFC Fight Night 188.[18][19]
Bryan Barberena was expected to face Daniel Rodriguez in a welterweight bout at this event.[20] However, Barberena underwent an emergency laparotomy a week before the event due to “internal bleeding from a couple ruptured arteries in his omentum” and has been sidelined indefinitely.[21]
After losing his opponent, Ian Heinisch due to testing positive for Covid-19 at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Teixeira, UFC made a quick booking between Brendan Allen and Sean Strickland for a 195-pound catchweight fight for the event.[22]
