After
Frank Erwin Center hosted all previous UFC visits to the city, the newly built
Moody Center was the venue for this event. A featherweight bout between
Calvin Kattar and
Josh Emmett headlined the event. A middleweight bout between
Phil Hawes and
Deron Winn took place at the event. 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.
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. They were rebooked for this event. A middleweight bout between
Julian Marquez and
Wellington Turman was expected to take place at the event. However, Turman withdrew due to an orbital bone injury and was replaced by
Gregory Rodrigues. A lightweight bout between
Joe Lauzon and former
UFC Lightweight Championship challenger
Donald Cerrone was rescheduled to this event. They were originally scheduled for
UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Vera, but were moved to
UFC 274 for unknown reasons. In turn, the bout was scrapped on the day of that event when Cerrone suffered from food poisoning. The bout was yet again scrapped the day of this event due to Lauzon suffering from leg cramping. At the weigh-ins,
Tony Kelley weighed in at 137.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at a catchweight and he was fined 20% of his individual purse, which went to his opponent
Adrian Yañez. ==Results==
