Background
The event was expected to be headlined by a UFC Flyweight Championship bout between the current champion Demetrious Johnson and top contender Joseph Benavidez. The two previously met at UFC 152 in the finals of the inaugural Flyweight Tournament, with Johnson winning the bout via split decision. However, on November 10, it was announced that Anthony Pettis withdrew from the main event on UFC on Fox 9 and the Johnson/Benavidez bout was moved to that event.
Zak Cummings was originally scheduled to face Sergio Moraes, but withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Sean Spencer.
Also featured on the card will be the finals from The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate in both men's and women's bantamweight divisions.
