Background
[
edit
]
The event was headlined by a
Middleweight Championship
bout between the current champion
Chris Weidman
and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion
Lyoto Machida
. The bout was originally scheduled to headline
UFC 173
on May 24, 2014. However, the bout was delayed after Weidman sustained a knee injury which required a minor surgery.

A light heavyweight bout between the coaches of
The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3
Chael Sonnen
and
Wanderlei Silva
was originally scheduled for
UFC 173
. However, the fight was moved twice - first being on May 31, 2014 at
The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 Finale
,
[5]
and now was expected to be contested on this card.
[6]
Silva was ultimately pulled from the fight entirely after he failed to submit an application to fight in the state of Nevada, as well as his refusal to undergo a random drug test and was replaced by
Vitor Belfort
.
[7]
[8]
The bout between Sonnen and Belfort was to be contested at middleweight.
[9]
However, Sonnen subsequently failed his random drug test and was removed from the bout
[10]
and ultimately retired from the sport.
[11]
The following day it was announced by MMA writer Kevin Iole that Belfort had also been removed from the card due to the inability of the UFC finding him a new opponent.
[12]
A bout between
Dan Henderson
and
Daniel Cormier
was briefly linked to this event
[13]
but was moved up to
UFC 173
to bolster that event's card.
Santiago Ponzinibbio
was expected to face
Ildemar Alcantara
but was forced out of the bout with a knee injury.
[14]
He was replaced by
Kenny Robertson
.
[15]
During the event,
Stefan Struve
suffered a "near-fainting episode" and his bout with
Matt Mitrione
on the pay-per-view was canceled. The first fight of the main card was already happening when the news was revealed on Twitter and it was officially confirmed on the broadcast after the Brimage-Doane fight ended.
