UFC 163: Aldo vs. Korean Zombie[3] was a mixed martial arts event held on August 3, 2013 at the HSBC Arena in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.[4]

Background

The main event was expected to feature current UFC Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo taking on #2 ranked Lightweight and Former WEC Lightweight Champion, Anthony Pettis.[5] However, in mid-June Pettis pulled out of the bout citing a knee injury and was replaced by Chan Sung Jung.[6]

Josh Koscheck was expected to face Demian Maia at the event. However, Koscheck was forced out of the bout with an injury and as a result, Maia was pulled from the card as well.[7]

Promotional newcomer Robert Drysdale was expected to face Ednaldo Oliveira at the event. However, Drysdale pulled out of the bout in mid-July citing a lingering staph infection.[8] Oliveira faced UFC newcomer Francimar Barroso at the event.[9]

Phil Harris was expected to face John Lineker at the event. However, Harris was forced out of the bout and Lineker faced promotional newcomer Jose Maria Tome.[10]

Clint Hester was expected to face Cezar Ferreira at the event. However, Hester was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by Thiago Santos.[11]

Brian Stann co-commentated the card with Mike Goldberg due to a prior commitment for Joe Rogan.[12]

John Lineker missed the 126 pound weight allowance for a Flyweight fight, weighing in at 129 pounds. As a result, he surrendered 20 percent of his purse to his opponent, José Maria, and the bout took place as a 129 pound catchweight fight.[13]
