Background

The organization originally targeted a return to Seoul in South Korea to host the event.[3] Instead, the event was moved to the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada.[2]

ESPN reporter Laura Sanko made her UFC color commentary debut at this event becoming the first female color commentator in the modern UFC era to call an event from the booth.[9]
