Then, on March 9 it was announced that Dos Santos would remain on the card and face Mark Hunt.
      Ryan Bader was expected to face Glover Teixeira at the event but withdrew from the bout due to injury in March. He was replaced by James Te Huna

      Dana White announced at the UFC on Fox 7 post-fight press conference that he expects that the winner of the Gray Maynard/T. J. Grant fight would get a UFC Lightweight title shot against Benson Henderson.
      At the weigh-ins, Khabib Nurmagomedov came in heavy weighing in at 158.5 lb. Nurmagomedov was given two hours to cut to the lightweight maximum of 156 pounds, but he elected instead to surrender a percentage of his fight purse to his opponent Abel Trujillo and the bout was contested at a catchweight.
