Background
The event is expected to be headlined by a UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Ronda Rousey and top contender Bethe Correia.
The lightweight and bantamweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4 are also expected to take place at this event. The finale was initially planned to take place on June 27, 2015 in São Paulo, Brazil. However on May 15, the event was moved to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. It was expected to be the first time a Ultimate Fighter Brazil Finale would take place outside of Brazil. However, as the event approaced, several international fighters experienced potential travel restrictions due to technical issues within the Bureau of Consular Affairs division of the U.S. State Department which produces visas. This issue could prevent several participants from being able to compete. Subsequently, the divisional finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4 were shifted to this event.
The event is also expected to feature a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship title eliminator bout between Cláudia Gadelha and former WSOF Women's Strawweight champion Jessica Aguilar.
