The event will mark the promotion's second visit to Louisville and first since UFC Live: Sanchez vs. Kampmann in March 2011.[1]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov is expected to headline the event.[2]
A bantamweight bout between Raul Rosas Jr. and The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski vs. Team Ortega bantamweight winner Ricky Turcios is expected to take place at the event.[3] They were originally scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2 on February 24, but Rosas Jr. was forced to withdraw just before the bout was expected to begin due to an illness. As a result, the pairing was initially pushed back one week to UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev before it was ultimately cancelled by the promotion.[4][5]
A middleweight bout between Roman Dolidze and Michel Pereira was briely announced as part of the event.[6] However, Pereira claimed he never signed any contracts for the fight and the bout fell through.[7]
