Few cards in recent memory have been hit as hard as this one. When the Ultimate Fighting Championship pulled Neil Magny from his co-main event slot against Alex Oliveira in favor of a headlining bout in Buenos Aires, this was a deep enough card to take that blow, but within a week, Tonya Evinger-Ketlen Vieira and Antonio Carlos Jr.-Elias Theodorou both fell through due to injury; and the main event had to be shuffled, not once but twice; the initial offering between Jimi Manuwa and Glover Teixeira was an uninspiring veteran bout that improved once Thiago Santos replaced Teixeira, but Manuwa got injured during fight week, leaving Santos to face Eryk Anders in an ersatz headliner on Saturday at Geraldo Jose de Almeida Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
