Background [ edit ]

A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between the current champion Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira , briefly linked as the event headliner at UFC 169 , [3] UFC 170 [4] and UFC 171 [5] [6] served as the main event.

Danny Castillo was originally expected to face Isaac Vallie-Flagg at this event. However, Castillo was replaced by Takanori Gomi and instead fought Charlie Brenneman . [7] [8]

Tarec Saffiedine was originally scheduled to face Jake Ellenberger in a welterweight bout, but withdrew due to a back injury. As a result, Ellenberger was removed from the card and was rescheduled to face Robbie Lawler at UFC 173 . [9]

Just one week before the event, Bobby Green suffered an injury and was forced off of the card. [10] Yancy Medeiros , who was supposed to fight Joe Ellenberger, stepped in and faced Green's original opponent Jim Miller . [11] Ellenberger was expected to face returning veteran Vagner Rocha . [12] Subsequently, just days after accepting the bout, Rocha injured himself in the week leading up to the event. With no time to find a suitable replacement, Ellenberger was pulled from the card as well. [13]
