UFC on ABC: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida (also known as UFC on ABC 4) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on May 13, 2023, at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.[2]

Background

[edit]

The event marked the promotion's fifth visit to Charlotte and first since UFC on Fox: Jacaré vs. Brunson 2 in January 2018.[2]

A light heavyweight bout between former UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker was originally expected to headline the event.[3] However, the UFC decided to promote an already scheduled three-round heavyweight bout between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Jailton Almeida to the five-round main event spot and downgrade the previous headliner to a three-round co-main event.[4][5]

A women's flyweight bout between Kim Ji-yeon and Mandy Böhm took place at the event.[6] They were previously scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Spivak, but Böhm was forced to withdraw due to illness.[7]

A welterweight bout between Jake Matthews and Gabriel Green was scheduled for this event.[8] However, Matthews withdrew from the bout due to injury and was replaced by The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski vs. Team Ortega middleweight winner Bryan Battle.[9] At the weigh-ins, Battle weighed in at 173 pounds, two pounds over the welterweight non-title fight limit. Their bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined a percentage of his purse which went to Green.[10]

Natan Levy and Pete Rodriguez were originally expected to meet in a lightweight bout at UFC on ESPN: Song vs. Simón, but the pairing was cancelled due to an undisclosed issue on Rodriguez's side.[11] They were eventually rescheduled for this event.[12] In turn, the bout was scrapped the day before due to weight management issues related to Rodriguez.[13]

A women's strawweight bout between Mackenzie Dern and former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill was expected to take place at this event.[14] However, the bout was instead moved back one week to headline UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Hill.[15]
