Background

[edit]

A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Championship challenger Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady served as the main event.[3]

A featherweight bout between Calvin Kattar and Kyle Nelson was scheduled for this event.[4] However, Kattar withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by Steve Garcia.[5]

A bantamweight bout between Aiemann Zahabi and Marcus McGhee was reported for this event.[6] However, the bout was removed from the card for unknown reasons.[7]

A featherweight bout between Žygimantas Ramaška and Nathan Fletcher was scheduled to take place at UFC on ESPN: Cannonier vs. Borralho.[8] Despite both men successfully weighing in, it was announced that the fight was canceled due to an undisclosed medical issue on Fletcher’s part and was re-scheduled to take place at this event.[9]

A flyweight bout between Matt Schnell and Alessandro Costa was expected to take place at the event.[10] However, Costa withdrew from the bout due to a shoulder injury and was replaced by Cody Durden in a bantamweight bout.[11]

A light heavyweight bout between former interim UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Ovince Saint Preux and former LFA Light Heavyweight Champion Ryan Spann was scheduled for this event.[12] However, Saint Preux withdrew from the fight due to an illness and the bout was moved to UFC 307 as a result.[13][14]

At the weigh-ins, Dylan Budka and Kyle Nelson missed weight. Budka weighed in at 188.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the middleweight non-title fight limit. Nelson weighed in at 148.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. Both bouts proceeded at catchweight with both fighters forfeiting 20% of their purses, which went to their opponents Andre Petroski and Steve Garcia, respectively.[15]
