Background
A UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between champion Daniel Cormier (also the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion) and Derrick Lewis is expected to headline the event.
A bout for the vacant UFC Women's Flyweight Championship between former UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship challenger Valentina Shevchenko and Sijara Eubanks was expected to serve as the event headliner. Shevchenko was initially expected to face former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 231 for the title, but due to UFC 230 being in need of a main event, she was booked against Eubanks sooner. Eubanks was expected to face Jessica Eye at UFC 232, before being moved to this bout. After the UFC announced Cormier/Lewis on October 9, they confirmed this bout was canceled and that Shevchenko would return to her original bout at UFC 231. Eubanks will remain on the event and will face former title challenger Roxanne Modafferi.
A middleweight bout between former interim UFC Middleweight Championship challenger (as well as 2000 Olympic silver medalist and world champion in freestyle wrestling) Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa was scheduled for the event. However, Romero indicated in mid-August that while he has been cleared to fight, his doctors have recommended that he wait another four to five months (early 2019) to allow facial injuries incurred during his most recent fight to fully heal.
A lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger and The Ultimate Fighter 5 lightweight winner Nate Diaz was expected to take place at the event. However on October 10, it was reported that Poirier pulled out due to injury and the bout was cancelled.
A bantamweight bout between Brian Kelleher and Domingo Pilarte was expected to take place at the event. However on October 10, it was reported that Pilarte pulled out due to injury and was replaced by Montel Jackson.
Sultan Aliev was expected to face Lyman Good at the event, but he pulled out due to injury. He was replaced by Ben Saunders.
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champions Luke Rockhold (also former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion) and Chris Weidman was expected to take place at the event. The two previously met at UFC 194 where Rockhold defeated then champion Weidman with a fourth round knockout. However, Rockhold pulled out on October 19 due to multiple injuries. He was replaced by another former Strikeforce champion Ronaldo Souza, who was initially scheduled to face former WSOF Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion David Branch in the event. Branch will now face Jared Cannonier.
Ruslan Magomedov was expected to face Marcos Rogério de Lima at the event. However on October 24, it was reported that he pulled out of the event due to visa issues and was replaced by Adam Wieczorek.
At the weigh-ins, Eubanks and Kelleher both missed the required weight for their respective fights. Eubanks weighed in at 127.2 pounds, 1.2 pound over the flyweight non-title fight limit of 126. Meanwhile, Kelleher weighed in at 137 pounds, 1 pound over the bantamweight non-title fight limit of 136. Both of them were fined 20 percent of their purse, which went to their opponents Modafferi and Jackson. In turn, Kelleher was pulled due to illness on the day of the event.

Loved this card! DC did what I expected. Amazing co-main event with Jacare and Weidman! such a good fight. Israel Adesanya with a big perfomance on the biggest stage too! Can't wait to see what's next for him

Yeah this event was awesome, as expected several of the fights where really good. Adseanya... love the style! Can't wait to see him fight again Hats of to Cormier for defending his title successfully. I just wish he wouldnt say "yeeey I am the beeeest" after winning lol. But hey I get it, he is just putting more gasoline on the already burning fire of disrespectful people wanting to see the champ getting ko the f out to irritate the hell out of them. He he.
Amazing co-main I agree. Personally Im happy Jacare pulled it off. What a fight!
Also happy for Lando Vanatta (not to loose the fight I mean), his style is so awesome every time I see he is on the card I jump of happiness.
Several of the fights on this card got me tense like a refrigerator until the end horn sounded. On my feet doing shadow kicking while watching lol

By the way. I watched the (UFC 230) Inside The Octagon show previous to the event. Dan Hardy always does a great analysis of the next upcoming fight on that show. He is really good at it in my opinion! And I just want to point out that Hardy absolutely called the way DC was going to grab one leg, wait for a few seconds for his opponent to try to move, then swipe the other leg, and throw all his weight on top while opponent falls pinning him to the floor. DC always does it the same way in all fights! And he did the exact thing at least twice on Lewis. Amazing how you know what he is going to do and still can't do anything to stop it. I also reacted to Hardy saying that DC's gameplan is always to win each round, and take any KO or sub if it comes. Not go for a KO or sub, simply let it happen. And that is exactly right. That is what he does. Grabs one leg, swipes the other, pins his weight perfectly on the perfect spot and grinds away until opponent must give his back. Game over.
