UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Vieira—also identified as UFC Fight Night 206, UFC on ESPN+ 64, or UFC Vegas 55—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on May 21, 2022. 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 bantamweight clash between former Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm and challenger Ketlen Vieira.
Initially, a heavyweight matchup between Ben Rothwell and ex-UFC Light Heavyweight Championship contender Alexander Gustafsson was scheduled. However, this bout was canceled following Rothwell’s release from the UFC in late March. Subsequently, Gustafsson competed against Nikita Krylov at light heavyweight in a separate event.
Maxim Grishin was originally set to meet Jailton Almeida in a light heavyweight contest but withdrew for undisclosed reasons. Consequently, Almeida transitioned to the heavyweight division and faced Parker Porter instead.
Bonus awards
Monetary bonuses of $50,000 were awarded to the following fighters:
- Fight of the Night: Michel Pereira vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio
- Performance of the Night: Chidi Njokuani and Chase Hooper
