A UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Valentina Shevchenko and Taila Santos took place at the event.

A women's strawweight rematch between former UFC Women's Strawweight Champions Zhang Weili and Joanna Jędrzejczyk took place at the event. The pair previously met at UFC 248 where Zhang successfully defended the championship against Jędrzejczyk by split decision. The winner is expected to become the next title challenger.

A welterweight bout between Orion Cosce and Mike Mathetha was expected to take place at UFC 271, but Cosce pulled out due to undisclosed reasons. They were then expected to meet at this event. Once again the bout was cancelled, as Mathetha got injured in late May.

A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker (also The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes welterweight winner) and former title challenger Marvin Vettori was expected to take place at the event. However, Whittaker withdrew due to an injury in April. The bout was then rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Tuivasa.

A flyweight bout between former Rizin Bantamweight Champion Manel Kape and Rogério Bontorin was expected to take place at the event. However, the bout was scrapped the day before the event due to Bontorin suffering kidney issues related to cutting weight.
