Background

A previously rumoured Lightweight Championship bout between B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez[4] did not take place at this event. At the UFC 102 press conference, White said it was likely that the fight will be moved to a third event in November which was at the time still unannounced.[5] It was later announced that the bout would take place at UFC 107.[6]

A bout between Antônio Rogério Nogueira and Luiz Arthur Cane was moved to UFC 106.[7] Dong Hyun Kim was forced to pull out of his bout with Dan Hardy due to an injury. He was replaced by Mike Swick.[citation needed][8]

The winner of Mike Swick vs. Dan Hardy was said to receive a title shot at Georges St-Pierre in early 2010.[9] This fight took place at UFC 111. A previously announced bout between Peter Sobotta and DaMarques Johnson was cancelled due to a military commitment for Sobotta.[10]

UFC 105 drew an average of 2.9 million viewers on Spike TV.[11]
