UFC 191: Johnson vs. Dodson 2 was a mixed martial arts event held on September 5, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.[3]

Background

[edit]

Initially, a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Daniel Cormier and top contender Alexander Gustafsson was linked as a possible event headliner.[4] Although never officially announced by the UFC, the bout between Cormier and Gustafsson would not take place at this event and would instead be postponed and moved to UFC 192.[5]

During the live Fox Sports 1 broadcast of UFC Fight Night: Mir vs. Duffee, it was confirmed that a UFC Flyweight Championship bout between current champion Demetrious Johnson and top contender John Dodson would headline the event.[6] Their first fight at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson ended in a unanimous decision victory for Johnson.[7]

The co-main event featured a heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight champions Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir.[8]

Anthony Johnson was originally expected to face Jan Błachowicz on the card. However, Johnson was pulled from the bout on July 30 in favor of a fight with Jimi Manuwa at the event.[9] In turn, Błachowicz faced The Ultimate Fighter 19 light heavyweight winner Corey Anderson.[10]

Raquel Pennington was initially expected to face Leslie Smith at UFC 192. However, Smith was forced to pull out of the event due to injury.[11] Subsequently, Pennington was pulled from the card entirely in favor of a bout with former title challenger Liz Carmouche at this event.[12] In turn, Carmouche pulled out of the fight just days after being added, citing injury and was replaced by Jéssica Andrade. This fight was a rematch, as Andrade beat Pennington via split decision at UFC 171.[13]

Andre Fili was expected to face Clay Collard at the event.[14] However, less than one week after the bout was announced, Fili was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by Tiago Trator.[15]
