Background

The main event was expected to be a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between the current champion Benson Henderson and top contender T. J. Grant. However, Grant was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by Anthony Pettis. Henderson and Pettis met in 2010 at the final event for World Extreme Cagefighting, WEC 53. Pettis defeated Henderson via unanimous decision to win the final WEC Lightweight title in a bout that was widely praised by MMA fans and pundits alike as the fight of the year.

Co-featured was a bout between two former UFC Heavyweight Champions, Frank Mir and Josh Barnett.

Ryan Couture was expected to face Quinn Mulhern at this event. However, Mulhern was forced out with a hand injury and was replaced by Al Iaquinta.

Yoel Romero was expected to face Derek Brunson at this event. However, Brunson was forced out with an injury and was replaced by newcomer Brian Houston. Houston ended up also getting injured and Romero was removed from the card.
