Etihad Stadium was the third stadium venue to host a UFC event after UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Canada and UFC on Fox held at Tele2 Arena in Sweden. The announced attendance set a new record for the promotion, with 56,214 people attending the event.〔 The event was expected to be headlined by a UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit, a former WEC Welterweight champion and former interim UFC Welterweight champion. However, the bout was removed from the event after Lawler suffered a thumb injury stemming back from his high school wrestling career. Subsequently, a UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between then champion Ronda Rousey and former 18-time boxing world champion in three weight classes Holly Holm, originally scheduled for UFC 195, was announced as the new headliner for this event. The Lawler/Condit bout was eventually rescheduled to UFC 195. Co-featured at the event was a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between current champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Valérie Létourneau. Brazilian fighters William Macario and Ricardo Abreu were expected to face Brendan O'Reilly and Daniel Kelly respectively at the event. However, both fighters pulled out of their bouts in late September citing injury and were replaced by James Moontasri and Steve Montgomery. In turn, O'Reilly pulled out of his bout on 6 November citing an injury and was replaced by Anton Zafir. Michael Bisping was expected to face Robert Whittaker at the event. However, Bisping pulled out of the bout on 30 September citing an elbow injury and was replaced by Uriah Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UFC 193」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
