Background[edit]


The event took place during the UFC's annual International Fight Week.[2][3]


A UFC Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Cody Garbrandt and former champion T.J. Dillashaw was expected to take place at this event, possibly as the headliner.[4] However, on May 23, Garbrandt withdrew due to a back injury and the bout was scrapped.[5]


A UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Amanda Nunes and multiple-time muay thai world champion Valentina Shevchenko was scheduled to headline this event.[6] The pairing met previously in March 2016 at UFC 196, with Nunes winning by unanimous decision.[7] However, the bout was canceled just hours before the event started due to Nunes being ill.[8]


An interim UFC Middleweight Championship bout between 2000 Olympic silver medalist and former world champion in freestyle wrestling Yoel Romero and The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes welterweight winner Robert Whittaker was expected to serve as the co-headliner.[9] Due to the cancelation of the Nunes-Shevchenko bout, this fight was announced as the new main event.[8]


A welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler and former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Donald Cerrone was originally booked for UFC 205. However, Lawler pulled out to take a little more time after losing his title via knockout at UFC 201.[10] The fight was rescheduled to take place at this event.[11] Reports began to circulate on June 28 that Cerrone had sustained a minor injury and that the pairing would be left intact, but expected to shift to UFC 214 three weeks later.[12] UFC President Dana White confirmed later that Cerrone in fact had a staph infection and a pulled groin, and while the plan was to keep the bout, it wouldn't happen at UFC 214.[13] In the end, the bout was confirmed on July 2 for UFC 214.[14]


Alan Jouban was expected to face Brian Camozzi at the event. However, on June 6, it was announced that Jouban pulled out due to a broken foot.[15] He was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia welterweight winner Chad Laprise.[16]


A bantamweight bout between Douglas Silva de Andrade and Rob Font was originally booked for UFC 175 in July 2014. However, de Andrade was pulled from the bout due to injury and replaced by George Roop. The bout was then rescheduled for this event.[17]
