Background
A heavyweight bout between the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion and UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Alistair Overeem and former Bellator Heavyweight World Champion Alexander Volkov is expected to serve as the event headliner.
A bantamweight bout between Cory Sandhagen and former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar is expected to take place at the event. Their first meeting was previously scheduled to happen in January 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. dos Santos, but Edgar was removed from the fight in favour of a bout against former UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Chan Sung Jung a month earlier at UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. The Korean Zombie.
A flyweight bout between Alexandre Pantoja and former Rizin FF Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape was originally scheduled to take place at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal in early December, but Pantoja pulled out of the fight due to COVID-19 sequelae. The pairing was then rescheduled for this event.
A bantamweight bout between Merab Dvalishvili and Cody Stamann was originally scheduled to take place at UFC on ESPN: Hermansson vs. Vettori, but Stamann pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and the bout was scrapped. The pairing is now expected to take place at this event. In turn, Dvalishvili was forced to pull out from the bout in mid January due to his COVID-19 recovery and he was replaced by Andre Ewell. After a positive test for COVID-19, Ewell was pulled from the event and replaced by promotional newcomer Askar Askar. The bout will take place at featherweight.
Wellington Turman and Aliaskhab Khizriev were scheduled to meet in a middleweight bout at the event. However, the contest was scrapped as Turman withdrew due to pneumonia. Khizriev will now compete at UFC Fight Night 189 against Kyle Daukaus.
Steven Peterson was expected to face Seung Woo Choi in a featherweight bout. In turn, Peterson pulled out on January 15 due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Collin Anglin. Anglin was then pulled from the event for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Youssef Zalal.
A women's bantamweight bout between former UFC Women's Flyweight Champion Nicco Montaño and Karol Rosa was scheduled for the event. However, in the weeks leading up to the fight, Montaño was pulled from the event due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Joselyne Edwards.
A bantamweight bout between Julio Arce and Timur Valiev was scheduled for the event. However, Arce was removed from the event in late January due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Martin Day. They will meet at featherweight.
Alex da Silva Coelho was expected to face Devonte Smith in a lightweight bout at this event. However, Coelho pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. Smith is now expected to face Justin Jaynes at a catchweight of 160 pounds.
Ode Osbourne was expected to face Denys Bondar in a catchweight bout of 130 pounds at this event. However, Bondar withdrew during fight week due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Jerome Rivera. The fight is now expected to take place at featherweight. They were previously scheduled to meet at a planned date of January 30 in a flyweight bout, but the event never materialized and the pairing was cancelled.
A women's bantamweight bout between Marion Reneau and Macy Chiasson was scheduled for the event. However, during the week leading up to the fight, Reneau was pulled from the card after testing positive for COVID-19. The bout is expected to remain intact and is tentatively planned for three weeks later at UFC Fight Night 186.

ooops lost another fight, not all that uncommon during Pandemic & MMA. Was casually browsing mma news and came across this...

Do you want the bad news or the good news first? BAD: The fight between @macychiasson and I has been cancelled for THIS weekend. Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID. I am feeling 100% fine with no symptoms. GOOD: Macy and I have agreed to run it back on FEBRUARY 27! I appreciate Macy and her camp for being professional and willing to make this fight happen. AND thank you for all the support leading up to this fight. Postponed...NOT CANCELLED! The goal doesn't change! Just the date!

Yes almost every event have had some fight affected by Covid for last 6 months or so. But UFC is doing a good job finding replacements etc. Unfortunately there have been quite a few last minute cancellations, but hey, the show must go on
