Description

The event was expected to be headlined by a women's strawweight bout between Paige VanZant and Joanne Calderwood. However on October 28, Calderwood was forced to pull out of the event and was replaced by Rose Namajunas.

The event was the first that the promotion has hosted at the venue and the first of three events in as many days in the Las Vegas Valley. It also marked the first North American card to air live exclusively on their subscription-based digital network, UFC Fight Pass.

A welterweight bout between Sheldon Westcott and Edgar Garcia, originally scheduled for this event was moved to UFC 195.

Lyman Good was expected to face Omari Akhmedov at the event. However, Good was pulled from the bout in late October and was replaced by Sérgio Moraes.

Michael Graves was expected to face Danny Roberts at the event. However, Graves pulled out of the bout on November 30 citing an injury and was replaced by Nathan Coy.
