The event in
Brasília was the second that the organization hosted in the
Brazilian capital city, with the first being
UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski in September 2014. On August 13, the card suffered multiple changes due to injury:
Brandon Thatch and
Shinsho Anzai pulled out of their respective fights against
Erick Silva and
Luan Chagas. Silva and Chagas were instead rescheduled to face each other.
Renato Moicano and
Joaquim Silva also pulled out of their respective fights against
Mike De La Torre and promotional newcomer
Gregor Gillespie. Their replacements were
Godofredo Pepey and
The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4 winner Glaico França, respectively. At the weigh-ins,
Michel Prazeres missed weight by two pounds, weighing in at 158 lb. As a result, he was fined 20% of his fight purse, which went to
Gilbert Burns. ==Results==
