At the post-fight press conference [[Dana White]] announced that the Flyweight Tournament fight between [[Demetrious Johnson (fighter)|Demetrious Johnson]] and [[Ian McCall (fighter)|Ian McCall]] had a judging error which resulted in a 10–8 round being read as a 10–9.

The event was the third UFC promotion held in Australia and the second to be televised on FX. It was also the 200th UFC event. The event hosted the semifinals of the UFC's Flyweight tournament, which will eventually crown the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion.[6]
