The card was headlined by a featherweight bout between former UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and Cub Swanson.[3]
A bout between Paige VanZant and Kailin Curran, briefly linked to UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Saffiedine, was rescheduled after VanZant suffered a minor injury and took place at this event.[4]
