A lightweight bout between former
UFC Lightweight Championship challenger
Renato Moicano and
Chris Duncan headlined the event. Sanches withdrew for undisclosed reasons, leading to the cancellation of the matchup. Musayev was then rebooked one week earlier at
UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer against
Ignacio Bahamondes. A middleweight bout between
Edmen Shahbazyan and
Park Jun-yong was scheduled for the event. However, Park had to withdraw due to an injury and the pairing was scrapped. A welterweight bout between Charles Radtke and promotional newcomer José Henrique Souza was scheduled for the event. However, for undisclosed reasons, Souza withdrew and Radtke was re-booked for
UFC 327 one week later with a new opponent. At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight: • Undefeated prospect Rafael Estevam weighed in at 136.5 pounds, half a pound over the bantamweight non-title fight limit. • Darrius Flowers weighed in at 156.5 pounds, half a pound over the lightweight non-title fight limit. Estevam and Flowers' bouts proceeded at catchweight. Both fighters were fined 20 percent of their individual purses which went to their opponents Ethyn Ewing and
Lando Vannata respectively. ==Results==
