The event took place at the UFC Apex facility located in Enterprise, Nevada, within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area.
Background
The main event featured a featherweight clash between Edson Barboza and Lerone Murphy.
Initially, a women's bantamweight matchup between Hailey Cowan and Tamires Vidal was scheduled. Vidal had to withdraw for medical reasons after the bout was first arranged for March 2023. Subsequently, Cowan suffered a broken leg and was replaced by Melissa Gatto.
A flyweight contest was planned between former UFC Flyweight Championship contender Tim Elliott and Tatsuro Taira, but Elliott pulled out due to injury. As a result, Taira was rescheduled to compete against Joshua Van at UFC 302.
A light heavyweight fight featuring undefeated prospect Oumar Sy against Rodolfo Bellato was on the card; however, Bellato withdrew and was succeeded by Antonio Trócoli. Trócoli then also withdrew, leading to promotional newcomer Tuco Tokkos stepping in as a late replacement.
