Chairez and Lacerda previously clashed in a flyweight bout at Noche UFC event on September 16 this year. The fight was ruled as a no-contest due to a premature stoppage from the referee Chris Tognoni. Tognoni mistakenly thought that Lacerda has gone limp when Chairez had him in a standing guillotine against the cage. On review, it was clear that it was an early stoppage.
