Background

A women's strawweight bout between former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Jéssica Andrade and Amanda Lemos headlined the event.[3][4]

A women's flyweight bout between Montana De La Rosa and Maycee Barber was expected to take place at UFC 269, but it was postponed due to De La Rosa getting injured.[5] They met at this event instead.[6]

A heavyweight bout between Tanner Boser and Rodrigo Nascimento was scheduled for the event.[7] However, Nascimento withdrew from the event for unknown reasons and was replaced by Alexander Romanov.[8] In turn, Boser tweeted on April 18 that he was out of the fight due to an injury.[9] He was replaced by Chase Sherman.[10] Subsequently, Sherman was deemed unable to compete due to a minor health issue on the day of the event and the fight was pushed back a week.[11]

A middleweight bout between Jordan Wright and Roman Kopylov was expected for the event.[12] However, Kopylov withdrew due to medical reasons and was replaced by Marc-André Barriault in a catchweight of 190 pounds.[13]

Damir Hadžović was expected to meet Steve Garcia in a lightweight bout at the event.[14] However, Hadžović pulled out due to alleged visa issues which restricted his travel.[15]

Louis Cosce and Preston Parsons were expected to meet in a welterweight bout at the event.[16] However, Cosce announced his withdrawal from the event on April 16 after testing positive for COVID-19.[17] He was replaced by Evan Elder.[18]

A flyweight bout between former Rizin Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape and Su Mudaerji was expected to take place at the event.[19] However, just two days before the event, Kape withdrew due to personal reasons and the bout was scrapped.[20]
