UFC on ESPN: Tybura vs. Spivac 2 (also known as UFC on ESPN 61 and UFC Vegas 95) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on August 10, 2024, at the UFC Apex facility, in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.
Background
A heavyweight rematch between Marcin Tybura and Serghei Spivac headlined the event. The pair previously met at UFC Fight Night: Benavidez vs. Figueiredo in February 2020, which Tybura won by unanimous decision.
A bantamweight bout between Javid Basharat and Chris Gutiérrez was expected to take place a week earlier at UFC on ABC: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov, but it was moved to this event due to unknown reasons. During fight week, Basharat withdrew due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Quang Le, who was originally scheduled to fight on Dana White's Contender Series in September.
A welterweight bout between Uroš Medić and Danny Barlow was expected to take place at this event. However, on July 11, Medić announced on social media that a rib injury has forced him to withdraw from the bout. Barlow faced promotional newcomer Nikolay Veretennikov instead.
Two fights originally scheduled for the event were cancelled a few days before taking place: a welterweight bout between Yusaku Kinoshita and Jonny Parsons, due to Parsons withdrawing for unknown reasons; and a flyweight bout between Allan Nascimento and Jafel Filho, due to Nascimento being ill.
At the weigh-ins, three fighters missed weight:
Chepe Mariscal weighed in at 149.5 pounds, three and a half pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit.
Danny Barlow weighed in at 171.25 pounds, a quarter of a pound over the welterweight non-title fight limit.
Chelsea Chandler weighed in at 141 pounds, five pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit.
All three bouts proceeded at catchweight. Each fighter was fined 20 percent of their individual purses which went to their opponents former LFA Featherweight Champion Damon Jackson, Nikolay Veretennikov, and former Invicta FC Bantamweight Champion and UFC Women's Featherweight Championship challenger Yana Santos respectively.
