Pre-Event Notes
This event will act as the lead in on SpikeTV for The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.
The bout between between Roger Huerta and Gray Maynard is thought to be the last bout on Huerta's UFC contract, after which he has stated he will look to turn to acting.
The third fight between Steve Cantwell and Brian Stann was originally to take place at UFC: Fight for the Troops but an injury to Stann nixed the decider.
Jeremy Stephens was meant to face UFC newcomer, Ronnys Torres but an injury to Torres forced a replacement in the form of Justin Buchholz.
Chris Lytle had to pull out of his bout with Carlos Condit and was replaced by UFC newcomer, Jake Ellenberger.
Phillipe Nover was a short notice replacement for Kyle Bradley.
Dan Miller was forced to pull out on short notice against CB Dollaway with undefeated, Jay Silva filling in.
On the day of the event, Phillipe Nover suffered a seizure in the locker room which resulted in his fight with Sam Stout being cancelled.
