UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Ivanov—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 133'—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It took place on July 14, 2018, at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, representing the UFC's inaugural event in that state.
Background
The main event featured a heavyweight clash between former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos and ex-WSOF Heavyweight Champion Blagoy Ivanov.
Originally planned for UFC Fight Night: Rivera vs. Moraes but postponed due to medical issues, a strawweight matchup between former WSOF Women's Strawweight Champion Jessica Aguilar and Jodie Esquibel was rescheduled for this card.
James Vick was slated to compete against Paul Felder; however, Vick was reassigned to replace Al Iaquinta in a bout with Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs. Vick. As a result, Felder was shifted to face Mike Perry in a welterweight contest at UFC 226.
