Background

The event will be the first that the organization will have hosted in South Korea.

A welterweight bout between former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson and former top contender Thiago Alves was expected to headline the event. However on November 14, Alves pulled out the bout due to a broken rib and was replaced by Jorge Masvidal, who was originally scheduled to face Dong Hyun Kim. Kim is now expected to face Dominic Waters.

A featherweight bout between Doo Ho Choi and Sam Sicilia was originally booked for UFC 173 and later UFC Fight Night: Mir vs. Duffee. However, Choi pulled out both times due to an injury and undisclosed reasons, respectively. The fight was later rescheduled for this event.

A heavyweight bout between the 2006 Pride Open-Weight Grand Prix champion and 2012 K-1 World Grand Prix champion Mirko Filipovic and Anthony Hamilton was expected to serve as the co-main event. However on November 10, Filipovic abruptly announced his retirement, citing a shoulder injury as the main reason and also a series of recurring injuries and other effects of ageing. Subsequently on the following day, UFC officials confirmed that Filipovic had in fact failed a drug test. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) notified both Mirko Cro Cop and the UFC that he has been provisionally suspended due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation. The substance found in Filipovic’s system was not revealed. Promotion officials also announced that Hamilton had been removed from the card and will be booked for a new bout at a future event.

Hyun Gyu Lim was expected to face Dominique Steele at the event. However, Lim pulled out of the bout on November 20 and was replaced by promotional newcomer "The Maestro" Dong Hyun Kim.
