The event included two championship bouts and a fight between the two coaches on the Spike TV show, The Ultimate Fighter. This championship unification bout occurred as a result of former UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture's year-long resignation from the promotion. Nogueira and Mir were opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter: The winners of the Couture vs Lesnar and Nogueira vs Mir matches would fight for the undisputed title. However, Mir injured his knee while training, and withdrew from the bout.
