A women's bantamweight bout between Marion Reneau and The Ultimate Fighter: Heavy Hitters women's featherweight winner Macy Chiasson was originally scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Volkov. However, during the week leading up to the fight, Reneau was pulled from the card after testing positive for COVID-19. The bout was expected to remain intact and was rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gane. They were once again rescheduled on February 20, due to Chiasson suffering an injury, with the pairing now expected to take place at this event.
A light heavyweight bout between Paul Craig and Jamahal Hill was expected to place at the event. However on March 10, Hill withdrew from the bout after testing positive for COVID-19. Promotion officials have not confirmed, but the pairing is expected to remain intact and be rescheduled for a future event.
Former KSW Welterweight Champion Dricus du Plessis was expected to face Trevin Giles in a middleweight bout at this event. However, du Plessis pulled out due to visa issues and was replaced by Roman Dolidze.

His bout is expected to proceed at a catchweight and he will be fined 20% of his individual purse, which will go to his opponent Montel Jackson.
