Background[edit]

A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship title challengers Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori has been slated to headline the event.[2]

Aaron Phillips and Kris Moutinho was scheduled for the bantamweight bout at the event.[3] However in-mid-September, Moutinho was removed from the bout for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Jonathan Martinez.[4] In turn, Philips withdrew from the bout due to illness. A replacement is currently being sought by the promotion.[5]

A welterweight bout between Dwight Grant and Gabriel Green was briefly linked to the event.[6] However, Green was removed from the contest in late September due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Francisco Trinaldo.[7]

A middleweight bout between Jamie Pickett and Laureano Staropoli was originally expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez, but it was moved to this event after one of Pickett’s coaches tested postive for COVID-19.[8]
