Background
The event marked the promotion's sixth visit to Jacksonville and first since UFC 273 in April 2022.

A featherweight bout between former interim UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Josh Emmett and Ilia Topuria was originally expected to serve as the main event of UFC on ESPN: Vettori vs. Cannonier one week earlier, but it was rescheduled to headline this event instead.

Former LFA Middleweight Champion Gregory Rodrigues and Dennis Tiuliulin were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at the main card. However, the bout was postponed to UFC 292 due to an undisclosed withdrawal of Tiuliulin.

A lightweight bout between Trevor Peek and Victor Martinez was expected to take place at the event. However, Martinez withdrew for unknown reasons and was replaced by Chepe Mariscal.

Punahele Soriano was expected to face Sedriques Dumas in a middleweight bout at the event. However, on June 15 it was announced that Soriano pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Cody Brundage.

At the weigh-ins, Loik Radzhabov and Kleydson Rodrigues missed weight. Radzhabov weighed in at 157.25 pounds and Rodrigues weighed in at 129 pounds, one and quarter pounds over the lightweight and three pounds over the flyweight non-title fights limit respectively. Radzhabov's bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to his opponent Mateusz Rebęcki. As a result of the weight miss, Rodrigues's bout with Tatsuro Taira was cancelled.
