- Denys Bondar was expected to face Victor Rodriguez in a flyweight bout at the event. However, he was forced to pull out in late April due to an injury and was replaced by Bruno Gustavo da Silva on April 30.
- Danyelle Wolf was expected to face former Invicta FC Featherweight Champion and UFC Women's Featherweight Championship challenger Felicia Spencer in a women's featherweight bout at the event. However, Wolf pulled out of the fight in early May due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Norma Dumont Viana on May 6.
- Ben Rothwell and Philipe Lins were scheduled to meet in a heavyweight bout in March at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad, but it was canceled due to an injury to Rothwell. They were then rescheduled for UFC on ESPN: Rodriguez vs. Waterson, but the bout fell through once again as Lins got ill a day before their fight. They were then expected to compete at this event. However, yet again, Lins was pulled from the event for undisclosed reasons and briefly replaced by promotional newcomer Askar Mozharov. Just hours later the Ukrainian announced he would not be able to get a visa in time for the event. He was eventually replaced by fellow newcomer Chris Barnett on May 13.
- Raulian Paiva vs. David Dvorak was scheduled to take place at the event. However, Paiva pulled out of the fight on the day before the event due to ill effects related to his weight cut. Paiva was replaced by promotional newcomer Juancamilo Ronderos just 24 hours before the fight. At the weigh-ins, Ronderos weighed in at 128.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the division's non-title fight limit. The bout will proceed at catchweight and he will be fined 20% of his purse, which will go to Dvorak.
