Background
While the UFC has hosted many events across Canada, the event marked the promotion's first visit to New Brunswick.
A light heavyweight bout between former UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Volkan Oezdemir and Anthony Smith served as the event headliner.
Zubaira Tukhugov was scheduled to face Artem Lobov at the event. However, it was reported that Tukhugov was removed from the fight due his role in the UFC 229 post-fight melee. He was replaced by Michael Johnson.
Gavin Tucker was scheduled to face Andre Soukhamthath at the event. However, Tucker pulled out of the fight in early October citing an undisclosed injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Jonathan Martinez.
At the weigh-ins, Johnson weighed in at 147 lb, 1 pound over the featherweight limit of 146 lb. He was fined 20% of his fight purse and his bout against Lobov proceeded at catchweight.
