Background[edit]
A welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev is expected to serve as the event’s headliner.[2]
A flyweight bout between Matt Schnell and Tyson Nam is expected to take place at the event.[3] The pairing was previously scheduled to take place in September at UFC Fight Night: Waterson vs. Hill.[4] However, the fight was cancelled on the day of the event’s weigh-in as Schnell was deemed medically unfit to compete due to complications related to his weight cut.[5]
A welterweight bout between Belal Muhammad and Sean Brady was expected to take place at this event.[6] However in late October, Muhammad revealed that Brady had a broken nose and had to pull out of their bout.[7] He was replaced by Dhiego Lima.[8]
Deron Winn and Antônio Braga Neto were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at the event.[9] In turn, Braga Neto was removed from the contest due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Antônio Arroyo, thus changing the contest to a catchweight of 195 pounds.[10]
