UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Moraga is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on July 27, 2013 at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington.[1][2] The event will be broadcast live on Fox.

Background

The main event is expected to be a UFC Flyweight Championship bout between current belt holder Demetrious Johnson and top contender John Moraga.[3] The pairing was originally expected to take place on April 13, 2013 at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale.[4] However, Johnson was forced out of the bout with an injury and Moraga was pulled from that event as well.[5]

Michael Chiesa was originally set to touch Reza Madadi on this card.[6] However, on May 14, 2013, it was announced Madadi pulled out of the bout citing alleged visa issues and was replaced by Jorge Masvidal.[7]

Miesha Tate was pulled from her scheduled bout with Liz Carmouche to participate as coach on The Ultimate Fighter 18[8] and was replaced by Jessica Andrade.[9]

Tarec Saffiedine was expected to make his promotional debut at this event opposite Robbie Lawler; however, Saffiedine was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by Siyar Bahadurzada.[10] However, on July 11, it was announced that Bahadurzada also pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Bobby Voelker.[11]

Matt Mitrione was expected to face Brendan Schaub at the event. However, in mid-July, Mitrione pulled out of the bout citing an injury and Schaub was pulled from the event as well with the pairing expected to be rescheduled at a future event.[12]

Danny Castillo was expected to face Bobby Green at the event, however, in mid-July, Green pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Tim Means.[13]

Yves Edwards was expected to fight Spencer Fisher on this card. However, on July 11, Fisher was removed from the bout due to injury and replaced by Daron Cruickshank.[14]

Both John Albert and Tim Means missed weight for their respective fights; rather than use time to cut additional weight, both men forfeited 20 percent of their purses to their opponent and the bouts were made catchweight affairs.[15]
