UFC on Fox: Lawler vs. Brown (also known as UFC on Fox 12) was a mixed martial arts event held on July 26, 2014 at SAP Center in San Jose, California.

Background

The event was headlined by a welterweight bout between Matt Brown and Robbie Lawler. UFC president Dana White subsequently announced that the winner of the main event would receive a title shot against UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks.

Viscardi Andrade was briefly scheduled to face Andreas Ståhl at the event. However, Andrade was replaced on the card by promotional newcomer Gilbert Burns.

Michael Johnson was expected to face Josh Thomson at the event. However, on July 11, Johnson pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Bobby Green.

Due to programming needs, the televised preliminaries were shifted to Fox instead of being aired on Fox Sports 1 or Fox Sports 2.

During weigh-ins, both Brown and Lima missed weight for their fights against Lawler and Jędrzejczyk, respectively. They were supposed to be fined 20% of their salary (10% to their opponent and 10% to the commission) but both fighters weren't fined due to a commission error. Brown weighed in at 172.5 lbs but wasn't allowed by the California State Athletic Commission to weigh in again, while Lima initially came in at 117 lbs and only dropped to 116.5 lbs and she was also denied another try. Both remained eligible for the UFC's post-fight bonus awards.
