Background
The event will be the third time that the promotion has hosted in Auckland and first since UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Hunt in June 2017.
A lightweight bout between Paul Felder and Dan Hooker is expected to serve as the event headliner.
A light heavyweight bout between Tyson Pedro and Vinicius Moreira was scheduled for the event. However, Pedro pulled out of the fight in early January citing an undisclosed injury. In turn, promotion officials elected to remove Moreira from the card entirely.
A women's flyweight bout between Rachael Ostovich and Shana Dobson was scheduled for the event. However, Ostovich pulled out of the fight for an unknown reason and was replaced by Priscila Cachoeira.
A women's strawweight bout between Loma Lookboonmee and Hannah Goldy was scheduled for the event. However, Goldy pulled out due to a shoulder injury and was replaced by Angela Hill.
A lightweight bout between Jamie Mullarkey and Jalin Turner was scheduled at the event. However, Mullarkey withdrew from the event due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Joshua Culibao.
