Background
A lightweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev is expected to headline the event.

Fiziev was once again forced to withdraw as he tested positive for COVID-19 a week before that event.
A women's flyweight bout between Antonina Shevchenko and Cortney Casey is expected to take place at this event. The pairing was previously scheduled to meet at UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Vera, but the bout was postponed to this event due to Shevchenko injuring her knee in training.
A middleweight bout between Josh Fremd and Tresean Gore was scheduled for the event. However, Fremd was pulled from the fight due to injury and replaced by Cody Brundage.
