The event was the first that the organization has held in
Saskatchewan and was headlined by a featherweight bout between rising stars
Max Holloway and
Charles Oliveira. However, on June 19, it was announced that several bouts would be postponed and moved to other events as international fighters experienced travel restrictions due to technical issues within the
Bureau of Consular Affairs division of the
U.S. State Department, which produces
travel visas. The two pairings were left intact and were rescheduled for this event. On August 11, an injury forced Story out of the bout and
Neil Magny stepped in to take his place. Magny had previously fought only 22 days before the event, when he was defeated by
Demian Maia at
UFC 190.
Chris Wade was expected to face
Olivier Aubin-Mercier at the event. However, Wade pulled out of the bout in late July after sustaining an injury and was replaced by
Tony Sims.
Sean O'Connell was expected to face UFC newcomer
Misha Cirkunov at the event. However, O'Connell pulled out of the bout on August 11 due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by another UFC newcomer in Daniel Jolly. ==Results==
