A featherweight bout between Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett is expected to headline the event.[3]

A middleweight bout between Phil Hawes and Deron Winn is expected to take place at the event.[4] They were previously scheduled to meet at UFC on ESPN: Makhachev vs. Moisés and UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez, but Winn pulled out both times due to injuries.[5][6]

Roman Dolidze and Kyle Daukaus were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodríguez, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols related to Dolidze’s camp.[7] They were rebooked for this event.[8]

A middleweight bout between Julian Marquez and Wellington Turman was expected to take place at the event.[9] However, Turman withdrew due to an orbital bone injury and was replaced by Gregory Rodrigues.[10]
