Background
A Light Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira, briefly linked as the event headliner at UFC 169, UFC 170 and UFC 171 is expected to serve as the main event.
Danny Castillo was expected to face Isaac Vallie-Flagg at this event. However, Castillo was replaced by Takanori Gomi and will now fight Charlie Brenneman.
Tarec Saffiedine was originally scheduled to face Jake Ellenberger in a welterweight bout, but withdrew due to a back injury. As a result, Ellenberger was removed from the card and will now face Robbie Lawler at UFC 173.
Just one week before the event, Bobby Green suffered an injury and was forced out of the card. Yancy Medeiros, who was supposed to fight Joe Ellenberger, stepped in to face Green's original opponent Jim Miller. Ellenberger was expected to face returning veteran Vagner Rocha. Subsequently, just days after accepting the bout, Rocha injured himself in the week leading up to the event. With no time to find a suitable replacement, Ellenberger was pulled from the card as well.
