Background

The event marked the promotion's sixth visit to Nashville and first since UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Pettis in March 2019. [2]

A bantamweight bout between former interim UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov was expected to headline the event. [3] However, Nurmagomedov withdrew from the event in mid-July due to a shoulder injury. [4] He was replaced by Rob Font in a catchweight bout of 140 pounds. [5]

The Ultimate Fighter: Team Joanna vs. Team Cláudia women's strawweight winner Tatiana Suarez and Virna Jandiroba were scheduled to meet in a women's strawweight bout. [6] However on June 20, it was announced that Jandiroba pulled out due to a knee injury and was replaced by former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Jéssica Andrade. [7]

Tagir Ulanbekov and Jake Hadley were expected to meet in a flyweight bout at this event. [8] However, Ulanbekov withdrew due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Cody Durden. [9]

A bantamweight bout between Said Nurmagomedov and Kyler Phillips was expected to take place at the event. [10] However, Nurmagomedov withdrew for unknown reasons and was replaced by Raoni Barcelos. [11]

A light heavyweight bout between Ovince Saint Preux and Ion Cuțelaba was expected to take place at the event. [12] However, the bout was cancelled on July 20 for unknown reasons. [13]

Sean Woodson and Steve Garcia were expected to meet in a featherweight bout at the event. [14] However, the bout was scrapped after Garcia got injured and Woodson was booked against Jesse Butler. [15] In turn, Butler was removed by the Nevada Athletic Commission during fight week due to a recent knockout loss two months earlier. [16] He was replaced by promotional newcomer Mairon Santos. [17] However, due to visa issues, Santos was removed from the bout and replaced with promotional newcomer Dennis Buzukja. [18] At the weigh-ins, Buzukja weighed in at 146.5 pounds, half a pound over the featherweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Woodson. [19]
