Background[edit]


This event featured a UFC Bantamweight Championship bout between champion Dominick Cruz and #1 contender Demetrious Johnson, which was the first UFC title fight to be aired live on a free televised UFC event since UFC 75 in September 2007.


Fabio Maldonado was expected to face Aaron Rosa in a light-heavyweight bout, but was pulled from the card due to an injury. A replacement was being sought but this fight was scrapped.[3]


Jeff Hougland was expected to face Mike Easton in a Bantamweight bout, but has been injured and replaced by UFC newcomer Byron Bloodworth.[4] Bloodworth failed to make the 135 pound weight limit, thus the match was changed to a Catchweight bout, with Bloodworth being fined for the infraction.[5]


With Fox taking over UFC broadcasting rights in 2012, this was the last UFC and Zuffa event to be aired on Versus.
