Munhoz plans to rebound from a decision loss against Aljamain Sterling that snapped a three-match win streak in June 2019. Edgar moved to the Bantamweight division after losing a Featherweight championship match to Max Holloway and suffering a first round knockout to Chang Sung Jung in a December 2019 match in South Korea. This will be the former champion's third division, and his 27th match for UFC. The match between Edgar and Munhoz was originally scheduled to take place on July 15 but was delayed after Munhoz tested positive for COVID-19. UFC had also planned a fight between #5 middlweight Yoel Romero and former Ultimate Fighter tournament runner-up Urijah Hall as the weekend's main event, but Romero withdrew from the fight due to an undisclosed injury. UFC president Dana White announced that Hall's next opponent will be MMA legend Anderson Silva in October.
