The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale (also known as The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated Finale) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that was held on July 6, 2018, at the Pearl Theatre in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. [17]
The featherweight and lightweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Undefeated took place at the event. [2]
A middleweight bout between Brad Tavares and Israel Adesanya headlined the event. [17] On June 7, it was announced that Tavares was dealing with a foot injury, but his team announced that he was still competing in the fight. Thiago Santos was announced as the replacement if Tavares was to pull out. [18]
A women's flyweight bout between former Invicta FC Flyweight Champion Barb Honchak and former UFC Women's Flyweight Championship challenger Roxanne Modafferi was expected to take place at The Ultimate Fighter: A New World Champion Finale. However, on the day of the weigh in, Sijara Eubanks was pulled from her main event fight due to kidney failure while trying to make weight. Eubanks was replaced by Modafferi to face Nicco Montaño for the inaugural UFC Women's Flyweight Championship and Honchak faced former Invicta FC Bantamweight Champion Lauren Murphy who replaced Modafferi. [19] The rematch (they previously met at a regional event in October 2011) between Honchak and Modafferi took place at this event. [20]
At the weigh-ins, Julian Marquez weighed in at 190 lb, four pounds over the middleweight limit of 186. He was fined 30% of his fight purse and the bout proceeded at a catchweight. [21]
