The event was the second that the UFC has hosted in
Goiânia, Brazil after
UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson on November 9, 2013. A welterweight bout between
TJ Waldburger and Wendell Oliveira was originally booked for
UFC Fight Night 61. However, the bout was cancelled on the day of the weigh-ins, after Waldburger passed out while cutting weight. The pairing had been rescheduled for this event, but it was scrapped yet again after Waldburger pulled out of the bout on May 19 due to undisclosed reasons. He was replaced by promotional newcomer
Darren Till.
Gilbert Burns was expected to face
Norman Parke at this event. However, Burns was forced to withdraw from the event due to injury and was replaced by
Francisco Trinaldo.
Renato Moicano was expected to face
Mirsad Bektić at the event. However, Moicano pulled out of the fight in late April due to a knee injury and was replaced by
Lucas Martins.
Jessica Penne was expected to face
Juliana Lima at the event. However on May 1, Penne was removed from the card and placed into a
UFC Women's Strawweight Championship fight against champion
Joanna Jędrzejczyk on June 20, 2015 at
UFC Fight Night 69. She was replaced by promotional newcomer Ericka Almeida.
Yan Cabral was expected to face
K. J. Noons at the event. However on May 19, Cabral pulled out of the fight due to
dengue fever and was replaced by
Alex Oliveira. On June 18, it was announced that
Rony Jason tested positive for
hydrochlorothiazide, which is a banned
diuretic, therefore his submission victory against
Damon Jackson was overturned and he received a nine-month suspension. The UFC rescinded Jason's $50,000 "Performance of the Night" award. Jason requested an analysis of his second sample, which also came positive for the diuretic. This card also featured the UFC debut of Darren Till ==Results==
