Background

The event will be the third that the UFC has hosted at the venue.

A welterweight bout between Matt Brown and Tarec Saffiedine was expected to serve as the event headliner. However, on January 1, the UFC announced that Saffiedine had pulled out of the bout, citing a groin injury he sustained in training. On January 13, Brown was pulled from the event in favor of a matchup with former UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 185. Subsequently, a welterweight bout between Stephen Thompson and Brandon Thatch was promoted to the main event. In turn, Thompson pulled out of the fight on January 30, citing a rib injury. After UFC 183, it was announced that former UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson agreed to step up as a replacement.

Jake Lindsey was scheduled to face James Moontasri at the event. However on January 26, Lindsey pulled out of the bout citing injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Cody Pfister.

Thiago Tavares was expected to face Nik Lentz at the event. However in late January, Tavares pulled out of the bout citing injury and was replaced five days later by promotional newcomer Levan Makashvili.
