Four fighters, including , Alexander Hernandez (14-7 MMA, 6-6 UFC), who fights Damon Jackson (22-6-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) in the featherweight co-feature, were heavy on the scale. That also includes Cynthia Calvillo (9-6-1 MMA, 6-6-1 UFC), who is riding a five-fight losing skid and missed weight for the third time at strawweight for her prelim bout with Piera Rodriguez (9-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC). The matchup was subsequently canceled.
