Background
A welterweight bout between former LFA Welterweight Champion Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown headlined the event.[3] They were originally scheduled to compete at UFC Fight Night: Oliveira vs. Gamrot one month before, but the bout was moved to this event in order to serve as the main event.[4]
Austin Bashi was expected to face Jamall Emmers in a featherweight bout at the event.[5] However, Bashi pulled out due to an injury and was replaced by Hyder Amil.[6]
A women's bantamweight bout between Luana Santos and Dariya Zheleznyakova was scheduled for this event.[7] However, Zheleznyakova withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by Melissa Croden.[8] The rescheduled bout between Santos and Croden was later moved to UFC on ESPN: Royval vs. Kape in December.[9]
A bantamweight bout between former LFA Bantamweight Champion Miles Johns and Daniel Marcos took place at this event.[10] Johns was initially booked to face fellow former LFA champion Muin Gafurov one week prior at UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs. Onama, but Gafurov withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[11] Meanwhile, Marcos was slated to fight Felipe Lima at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker on November 22, until Lima also withdrew.[12] Following both cancellations, Johns and Marcos were rebooked to face each other at this event.[11]
A bantamweight bout between Adrian Yañez and Cristian Quiñónez was scheduled for this event.[13] However during fight week, Quiñónez withdrew from the bout for unknown reasons and the bout was subsequently cancelled.[14]
In addition, Robert Valentin withdrew from his middleweight bout against Jackson McVey due to a back injury.[14] Undefeated prospect Donte Johnson was initially considered as a replacement, having competed a week earlier at UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs. Onama, in a 190-pound catchweight bout. However, the Nevada State Athletic Commission declined the substitution because Johnson was under a two-week medical suspension.[15][16] As a result, Zachary Reese stepped in to face McVey in a catchweight bout at 195 pounds.[17]
At the weigh-ins, Ismael Bonfim weighed in at 161 pounds, five pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 25 percent of his purse, which went to his opponent Chris Padilla.[18]
