Background
The event will mark the promotion's fifth visit to Austin and first since UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs. Emmett in June 2022.[1]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and Roman Dolidze was expected to take place at the event.[2] However, Cannonier suffered a MCL tear in October during training and was pulled from the bout. It is unclear if a replacement will be sought for Dolidze.[3]
