UFC Fight Night: Bader vs. Nogueira 2, also referred to as UFC Fight Night 100, was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on November 19, 2016, hosted at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil.
Background
Initially, the main event was planned to feature a light heavyweight clash between former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Championship contender Alexander Gustafsson and Antônio Rogério Nogueira. This fight had been arranged on two previous occasions but was canceled each time due to injuries sustained by Nogueira. Nevertheless, on September 30, Gustafsson withdrew because of an injury and was substituted by Ryan Bader, who won The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir. Bader had triumphed over Nogueira via unanimous decision six years prior at UFC 119.
Michael Graves was scheduled to face Sérgio Moraes but was removed from the lineup following an arrest related to a misdemeanor battery charge; his replacement was Zak Ottow. Furthermore, Matheus Nicolau was withdrawn from his contest against Ulka Sasaki due to a potential anti-doping infraction flagged by USADA. Consequently, Sasaki was also taken off the card and later matched up with Wilson Reis at UFC 208 in February 2017.
