Background
The event will not lead into the season premiere of The Ultimate Fighter 13 as has been the case for most of that program's seasonal debuts. That program is expected to air on March 30.
On February 19, 2011, Dana White alerted followers on Twitter that Tito Ortiz had to pull out of his fight with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, after receiving a severe cut on his forehead from his training partner Dagmar Lebron, and would be replaced by Phil Davis.
On March 5, Duane Ludwig was forced out of his fight with Amir Sadollah due to injury. James Wilks was tapped as his replacement. Wilks then injured himself, and was forced to withdraw from the bout. DaMarques Johnson has been named the replacement. Also on March 5, Dennis Hallman suffered a knee injury in training and was forced out of his bout against TJ Waldburger. Johny Hendricks has stepped in as Hallman's replacement.
On March 16, Nick Pace was forced out of his bout against Michael McDonald due to suffering an injury. Promotional newcomer Edwin Figueroa has stepped in as his replacement.
Also on March 16, a broken foot forced Nam Phan out of his rematch with Leonard Garcia. Chan Sung Jung has agreed to face Garcia in a rematch from their fight of the night performance at WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber, which ended in a controversial decision win for Garcia.
