Sergio Pettis was expected to face Louis Smolka at the event. However, Pettis pulled out of the fight on September 22 citing what his trainer described as "a minor injury". Smolka remained on the card and faced promotional newcomer Brandon Moreno, from The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions.

At the weigh-ins, three fighters, John Lineker, Alex Oliveira and Hacran Dias each missed the required weight limit for the respective fights. As a result, all three fighters were fined 20% of their fight purse, which went to their opponents.
