UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Weidman (also known as UFC Fight Night 174 and UFC on ESPN+ 32) was a planned mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship originally planned to take place on May 2, 2020 at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States.[1] Due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, UFC president Dana White announced on April 9 that starting with the original UFC 249, all future events were indefinitely postponed.[2] The event was officially cancelled on April 20.[3]
Background
The event would be the third that the promotion has contested in Oklahoma City, following UFC Fight Night: Diaz vs. Guillard in September 2009 and UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Lee in June 2017.[1]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman and Jack Hermansson had been slated to serve as the event headliner.[4]
A women's bantamweight bout between Sarah Alpar and Duda Santana was scheduled for the event. However, Santana was removed from the event for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Vanessa Melo.[5]
A women's bantamweight bout between Julia Avila and Karol Rosa was expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris. However, the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[6] The pairing was rescheduled for this event.[7]
Due to travel restrictions related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, some Brazilian fighters were unable to compete due to visa issues on the original date – Marina Rodriguez (who was expected to face former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger Cláudia Gadelha) and Vanessa Melo (who was expected to replace Santana against Alpar).[8]
