UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Green prelims

UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Green finally went down in Las Vegas on Saturday with six preliminary card outings. The card had several last-minute replacements.

Ramiz Brahimaj stepped in for Jonny Parsons on short notice and squared off against Michael Gilmore in a welterweight clash. Meanwhile, women's featherweight fighter Josiane Nunes had a change of opponent three times after both Wu Yunan and Jennifer Gonzalez pulled out for various reasons.

Ramona Pascual finally came in to take on Nunes. The Fares Ziam vs. Terrance McKinney bout, on the other hand, was postponed from UFC Fight Night 198 to this card due to McKinney's positive COVID-19 test back then.

Rong Zhu missed the lightweight limit by four pounds and was fined 40% of his purse, which went to his opponent Ignacio Bahamondes
