Background
The main event was a UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior dos Santos.[3][4] The two have split their two previous encounters with Dos Santos winning the first bout via first round knockout at UFC on Fox: Velasquez vs. dos Santos and then Velasquez winning the rematch via unanimous decision at UFC 155.
A bout between George Roop and Francisco Rivera was scheduled for this card, but was moved to UFC Fight Night 31 and replaced by Sarah Kaufman vs. Jessica Eye.[5]
Matt Grice was expected to face Jeremy Larsen at the event. However, Grice was forced out of the bout after sustaining serious injuries in a September 8 car accident in his home state of Oklahoma.[6] Grice was replaced by Charles Oliveira who also lost his original opponent, Estevan Payan, due to injury.[7] Subsequently on October 5, Oliveira pulled out of the Larsen bout citing a strained thigh muscle.[8] Larsen instead faced promotional newcomer Andre Fili.[9]
Luke Rockhold was expected to face Tim Boetsch at the event. However, Rockhold was forced out of the bout citing a knee injury and was replaced by C.B. Dollaway.[10]
Andre Fili weighed in 2.5 pounds too heavy. As a result, 20-percent of Fili's purse will be forfeited to his opponent, Jeremy Larsen. [11]
