The promotion last contested an event at Boardwalk Hall in June 2005.
A lightweight bout between Edson Barboza and former interim UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Kevin Lee has been slated to serve as the event headliner.
A light heavyweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter: Team Edgar vs. Team Penn light heavyweight winner Corey Anderson and Patrick Cummins was originally scheduled for UFC 217. However, Cummins pulled out due to a staph infection. The bout is now expected to take place at this event.
Paulo Costa was expected to face Uriah Hall at the event. However, Costa pulled out of the fight in mid-March with an arm injury. In turn, promotion officials elected to pull Hall from the event and reschedule the pairing for a future event.
Augusto Mendes was pulled from a bout against Merab Dvalishvilli due to a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected on March 7, 2018. He was replaced by promotional newcomer Ricky Simon.
Magomed Bibulatov was scheduled to face Ulka Sasaki at the event. However, Bibulatov was removed from the event, citing injury back injury and the bout was cancelled.
At the weigh-ins, Kevin Lee weighed in at 157 pounds, one pounds over the lightweight non-title fight upper limit of 156 pounds. As a result, the bout proceeded at catchweight and Lee was fined 20% of her purse which will go to his opponent Edson Barboza.
