The event was the second that the organization hosted in Portland, with the first being UFC 102 in August 2009.[3]
The event was headlined by a bantamweight bout between John Lineker and former two-time UFC Flyweight Championship challenger and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller bantamweight winner John Dodson.[4]
On September 9, two fighters pulled out from their bouts: Brian Ortega and Bobby Green were expected to face Hacran Dias and Josh Burkman, respectively.[5][6] Ortega was replaced by Andre Fili, while Green was replaced by promotional newcomer Zak Ottow. Due to the late replacement, Burkman-Ottow was contested at welterweight.[7][8]
Sergio Pettis was expected to face Louis Smolka at the event. However, Pettis pulled out of the fight on September 22 citing what his trainer described as "a minor injury".[9] Smolka remained on the card and faced promotional newcomer Brandon Moreno, from The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions.[10]
At the weigh-ins, three fighters, John Lineker, Alex Oliveira and Hacran Dias each missed the required weight limit for their respective fights. As a result, all three fighters were fined 20% of their fight purse, which went to their opponents.[11]
