A light heavyweight bout between former interim title challenger Ovince Saint Preux and Shamil Gamzatov was scheduled for the event. However, Gamzatov was forced to pull out of the event due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He was replaced by Ion Cuțelaba.[6]
A heavyweight bout between Rodrigo Nascimento and Don’Tale Mayes was expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris. However, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] The pairing was rescheduled for this event.[8]
Also due to travel restrictions, some Brazilian fighters were unable to compete due to visa issues on the original date – Ariane Carnelossi (who was expected to face Mackenzie Dern in a women's strawweight bout) and Raphael Pessoa (who was expected to face Alexander Romanov in a heavyweight bout).[9] Carnelossi was replaced by Hannah Cifers.[10]
