Background

The event was the first that the organization has hosted in Utah.

The promotion previously scheduled an event for Salt Lake City in August 2010 for UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko. However, the event was moved to San Diego, California due to lower than anticipated ticket sales in the Utah market.

A featherweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America featherweight winner Yair Rodríguez and Alex Caceres served as the event headliner.

Brad Tavares was very briefly linked to a bout with Thales Leites at the event. However, Tavares was forced out of the fight with a rib injury and was replaced by Chris Camozzi.

Justine Kish was expected to face Maryna Moroz at the event. However, Kish pulled out of the bout on July 22 due to a spiral fracture of her finger. She was replaced six days later by promotion newcomer Danielle Taylor.

Bonus awards

The following fighters were awarded $50,000 bonuses:

  • Fight of the Night: Yair Rodríguez vs. Alex Caceres
  • Performance of the Night: Marcin Tybura and Teruto Ishihara
