- Cris Cyborg has a new opponent for UFC 214, as she will now face Tonya Evinger at the July 29 event. Megan Anderson was removed from the card due to personal reasons. The vacant featherweight title will remain on the line in the co-main event to Jon Jones challenging Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight belt.

Cyborg vacated her Invicta FC featherweight title to make a run at the UFC belt. Evinger, who replaced Anderson in the planned Invicta FC 24 main event, has held the Invicta FC bantamweight belt for two years and is unbeaten since 2011.
