Background
A featherweight bout between former interim UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria was expected to headline the event.[3] However, the bout was postponed one week to headline UFC on ABC: Emmett vs. Topuria. The UFC then opted to book a middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challengers Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier as the event's new headliner.[4]
