Background
editA women's strawweight bout between former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger Amanda Lemos and former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Virna Jandiroba is expected to headline the event.[2]
A featherweight bout between Dan Ige and Joanderson Brito was scheduled for the event.[3] However, Brito was forced to pull from the event due to a leg injury.[4] He was replaced by Chepe Mariscal.[5] Subsequently, Ige withdrew from this bout on the day of UFC 303 to serve as a replacement fighter at that event and it is not confirmed whether Mariscal will remain on this event.[6][7]
A women's flyweight bout between Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick was scheduled to take place at this event.[8] However, Cortez was pulled from the contest in order to serve as a replacement against former two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas a week earlier at UFC on ESPN: Namajunas vs. Cortez, after her original opponent Maycee Barber pulled out.[8] Maverick will instead face Dione Barbosa.[9]
