A bantamweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili is expected to headline the event. A bantamweight bout between Mario Bautista and Guido Cannetti is expected to take place at the event. They were previously scheduled to meet at UFC on ESPN: Barboza vs. Chikadze, but Bautista pulled out after testing positive for COVID-19. A middleweight bout between Makhmud Muradov and Abusupiyan Magomedov was expected to take place at the event. They were previously scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa but Muradov withdrew due to injury. At the end of February, it was announced that Muradov had pulled out of the bout again. A bantamweight bout between Raphael Assunção and Kyler Phillips was scheduled for the event. However, Phillips withdrew from the event for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Davey Grant. A light heavyweight bout between Nikita Krylov and former LFA Light Heavyweight Champion Ryan Spann was originally expected to headline UFC Fight Night: Muniz vs. Allen. However, the headliner was canceled during the broadcast as Krylov had fallen ill. The pair was rescheduled for this event at a catchweight of 215 pounds. |
