Background
A Light Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Jon Jones and #1 contender Glover Teixeira was briefly linked as the event headliner. However, just days after the announcement, Dana White indicated that "the timing didn't work out" for the pairing and that fight would take place at a later event.
The event was expected to be headlined by the long awaited return of the Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz. However, on January 6, UFC President Dana White announced that Cruz had torn his groin in training and pulled from the fight. Cruz has also vacated his title, making Barao the undisputed bantamweight champion. Stepping up to replace Cruz will be Urijah Faber.
Co-featured on the card will be UFC Featherweight Champion José Aldo defending his title against top contender Ricardo Lamas.
A Heavyweight bout between former Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir and Alistair Overeem, scheduled to take place at UFC 167, was moved to this event.
Bobby Green was expected to face Abel Trujillo at this event. However, Green pulled out of the fight for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner.
Chris Cariaso was expected to face Kyoji Horiguchi at the event. However, Horiguchi pulled out of the bout citing injury. He was replaced by WEC veteran Danny Martinez.
