Lore & Background
The event was originally scheduled to feature a third meeting between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard for the UFC Lightweight Championship, but injuries to both forced the fight off the card. Thiago Silva was rumored to be forced from his bout with Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, but Silva denied injury; instead, Silva may have failed a pre-fight drug screening at UFC 125, and Rampage faced Matt Hamill. Former Sengoku Middleweight Champion Jorge Santiago returned to face Brian Stann. Brad Pickett withdrew from his bout with Miguel Torres, replaced by Demetrious Johnson; Renan Barão then faced Cole Escovedo. Norifumi Yamamoto was forced out of his bout with Chris Cariaso, replaced by Michael McDonald. Cody McKenzie was injured and replaced by Gleison Tibau; Bart Palaszewski was also injured and replaced by Rafaello Oliveira.
