When the event was originally announced, it was announced that it would be headlined by a UFC Flyweight Championship unification tetralogy bout between current two-time champion Deiveson Figueiredo and former champion/current interim title holder Brandon Moreno as it would be the first time in UFC history that two fighters would meet for a fourth time. The pairing first met at UFC 256 in December 2020 which ended in a majority draw (Figueiredo retained the title). Their second meeting took place at UFC 263 in June 2021 where Moreno captured the title by submission in the third round. Their third meeting took place at UFC 270 in January 2022 where Figueiredo regained the title by unanimous decision. It was also announced that Alexandre Pantoja would serve as backup replacement for this fight.
After the controversial Draw in the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout at UFC 282 between former champion Jan Błachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev, Dana White announced during the post-fight press conference that former champion Glover Teixeira and Jamahal Hill would compete for the vacant title at UFC 283. Teixeira was originally expected to compete at UFC 282 as a challenger in a rematch against then-champion Jiří Procházka, but Procházka pulled out and vacated the title after a serious shoulder injury. Teixeira was offered the fight for the vacant title against Ankalaev at the event, but turned it down and instead asked for the bout to be moved to this event so he could compete in his home country, but the promotion wanted to keep the fight at that event. It was announced that the fight would serve as the main event, moving the Figueiredo-Moreno bout to the co-main event.

The event was scheduled to be headlined by a bantamweight bout between former interim title challenger Cory Sandhagen (#4) and undefeated contender Umar Nurmagomedov (#11). However, Nurmagomedov pulled out on July 19 due to a town shoulder. Meanwhile, Rob Font (#7) and Song Yadong (#8) was scheduled for UFC 292. Yadong pulled out on July 20 due to injury. The promotion decided to book Sandhagen and Font for the main event of this event. Because of the short notice change, the bout was changed to a Catchweight of 140 lbs.
Sean Woodson was scheduled to face Steve Garcia however Garcia pulled out due to injury and was replaced by Jesse Butler. Butler was pulled out after he was not medically cleared by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and was replaced by promotional newcomer Mairon Santos, but Santos was pulled due to visa issues and was replaced by promotional newcomer Dennis Buzukja.

On October 24, it was announced that the Procházka-Pereira bout would be bumped to the main event as Jones was forced to withdraw from the bout after tearing his pectoral muscle off the bone and Miocic was pulled from the card because he was only interested in fighting Jones. Because of this, an interim title bout between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall was added to the card.
At the weigh-ins, Roosevelt Roberts and Jamall Emmers missed weight and both had to forfeit 20% of their fight purse to their respective opponents.

Episodes
Episode 1 (May 30, 2023)
• Coaches Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler meet at the UFC Apex and discuss a potential fight that might happen soon between the two. The weight class is the principal subject of discussion, with McGregor suggesting that he will be the one deciding which weight class they will fight in.
• UFC president Dana White welcomes McGregor and Chandler as well as all the participants in the new season of TUF, composed of bantamweight and lightweight fighters.
• White explains that there will be a new format this year: fighters of each division are separated in two categories: veterans, composed of fighters who already fought in the UFC, and prospects. White then explains that there will be a coin toss to determine which coach will pick first. The winner of the toss will decide which division they will pick from, as well as if they pick veterans or prospects. The other coach gets the other pick, choosing if they pick veterans or prospects, this time in the other division.
• McGregor wins the coin toss, and picks the lightweight prospects, which leaves Chandler with the 155 veterans. Chandler proceeds to pick the bantamweight veterans, leaving McGregor with the 135 prospects.
• On the second day, McGregor and Chandler both hold training sessions to evaluate their fighters, since they will need to seed them from 1 to 4, in order to determine the matchups to start the tournament. Chandler opts for a calculated approach, mostly composed of drills, while McGregor opts for grueling sparring sessions.
• The coaches seed their fighters 1 to 4 with the first matchup being Roosevelt Roberts vs. Nate Jennerman.
• At the weigh-ins, McGregor doesn't show up and Chandler is upset saying that the weigh-ins are important and Conor should have been there.

• The next fight up is Cody Gibson vs. Mando Gutierrez.

This marked the promotion's first trip to Toronto since UFC 231: Holloway vs. Ortega in December 2018.
Not officially announced by the promotion, a UFC Lightweight Championship rematch between the champion Islam Makhachev and former champion Charles Oliveira (#1) was expected to headline the event. The two previously met at UFC 280 where Makhachev won by submission in the second round to win the title. The rematch was originally set for UFC 294 but a week before the event Oliveira was forced withdrawal from the bout after suffering a cut above his eye. The promotion later denied this, claiming that both fighters wouldn't be ready by the date.
It was announced by the promotion that the event would be headlined by a UFC Middleweight Championship bout between the champion Sean Strickland and top contender Dricus du Plessis (#2).
The event will also feature a bout between former bantamweight title challenger Raquel Pennington and Mayra Silva and the bout would be for the vacant UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship. The title was vacated by Amanda Nunes following her successful defense against Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in June 2023, which took place in Vancouver.
Two days before the event, Priscila Cachoeira notified the promotion that she would not make the flyweight weight limit for her bout against Jasmine Jasudavicius. The bout was changed to a Catchweight of 130 lbs and then was changed to a bantamweight bout. Because of this, Cachoeira had to forfeit 30% of her fight purse to Jasudavicius.
At the weigh-ins, Ramon Tavaras and Malcolm Gordon missed weight and both forfeited a percentage of their fight purse to their respective opponents (30% Tavaras and 20% Gordon).

The event was headlinbed by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between the champion (also former UFC Middleweight Champion) Alex Pereira and former champion Jamahal Hill (#1).
A BMF Championship bout between the titleholder and former interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje and former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway took place at the event.
A UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between the champion Zhang Weili and top contender Yan Xiaonan (#3) to place at the event.
Not officially announced by the promotion, a UFC Lightweight Championship rematch between the champion Islam Makhachev and former champion Charles Oliveira (#1) was expected to take place at the event. The two previously met at UFC 280 where Makhachev won by submission in the second round to win the title. The rematch was originally set for UFC 294 but a week before the event Oliveira was forced withdrawal from the bout after suffering a cut above his eye. On January 8, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the bout was going to happen at the event, but Makhachev would be unable to compete due to injury. White announced that Oliveira would instead face Arman Tsarukyan in a title eliminator.
Jim Miller competed at the event. Miller will become the only fighter to have competed at all three milestone events for the organization, previously competing at UFC 100 and UFC 200. He is scheduled to face Bobby Green. The duo was previously booked thrice, but canceled all three times due to Green withdrawals: first at UFC 172 in April 2014, due to an elbow injury; the second booking at UFC 258 in February 2021, when he collapsed after the weigh-ins and was deemed unfit to compete; and the third time at UFC 276 in July 2022, when Green withdrew for unknown reasons.
The event featured the promotional debut for 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medalist in judo (also two-time PFL women's lightweight tournament champion) Kayla Harrison as she is expected to face former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm.
During the UFC 300 pre-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White announced that the bonuses for the event would increase to $300,000 and that UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman would award the BMF Championship to the winner of Gaethje vs. Holloway.

This event will take place during "International Fight Week".
The event was scheduled to be headlined by a welterweight bout between former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion Michael Chandler. The two were in discussion to take place at UFC 296 in December 2023, but the bout eventually postponed. On June 13, McGregor was forced to withdraw due to injury, the first time in his pro career he was forced to withdraw from a bout. The bout will be postponed and will be rescheduled for a different event.
On June 13, it was announced that the event would instead be headlined by a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship rematch between the champion (also former UFC Middleweight Champion) Alex Pereira and former champion Jiří Procházka (#2). The two previously met at UFC 295 in November 2023 where Pereira won by knockout in the second round.
A light heavyweight bout between former champion Jamahal Hill (#2) and Khalil Rountree (#8) was scheduled to take place at the event. On May 17, Rountree announced that he withdrew from the bout due to a failed drug test and he notified the promotion about accidently taking a tainted supplement that included something that was prohibited in the UFC's ani-doping policy. After the supplement company took fault, Rountree had his suspension reduced to 2 months. He was replaced by Carlos Ulberg (#11). On June 13, Hill was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury and was replaced by Anthony Smith (#10). Then on June 21, Ulberg was forced to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Roman Dolidze (#12).
The new co-main event was announced to be a featherweight bout between former title challenger Brian Ortega (#3) and Diego Lopes (#14). On the day of the weigh-ins, Ortega and his team contacted the promotion and asked to change the bout to lightweight due to Ortega having issues cutting weight. The new weight was agreed on, but Ortega had to forfeit 30% of his fight purse to Lopes because of the change.
At the weigh-ins, Jean Silva missed weight and had to forfeit 20% of his fight purse to his opponent Charles Jourdain.
A few minutes prior to the Pay-Per-View portion of the card, Ortega withdrew from the bout against Lopes after he fell ill with a high fever. Dan Ige offered to step in on hours notice. After passing all the physical and medical tests and since he was licensed in the state of Nevada (since he fought at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Pyfer in February and was scheduled to fight at UFC on ESPN: Lemos vs. Jandiroba in July), the bout was cleared to take place and was held at a Catchweight of 165 lbs (both made the weight limit). This was the first time in UFC history that this type of situation took place.
