Description

This was the second time that the organization has hosted an event in Dublin, following UFC 93 in 2009.
The event was expected to be headlined by a featherweight bout between Conor McGregor and Cole Miller. However, Miller was forced to pull out due to an injury, and was replaced by Diego Brandao. Despite the change with one of the headlining participants, ticket demand was high for the event, with nearly all tickets selling out within a few hours of going on sale.
Ryan LaFlare was scheduled to face Gunnar Nelson at the event. However, LaFlare was removed from the card and replaced by Zak Cummings.
Tom Lawlor was expected to face Ilir Latifi at the event, but Lawlor pulled out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Chris Dempsey.
Long time combat sports journalist Kevin Iole ranked the event as number 1 in his list of top 10 UFC events in history.
