UFC Fight Night: Almeida vs. Garbrandt (also known as UFC Fight Night 88) was a mixed martial arts event held on May 29, 2016 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2][3]
Background
A bantamweight bout between top undefeated prospects Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt headlined the event.[2]
Keith Berish was very briefly linked to a bout with Jake Collier at the event. However, Berish pulled out due to injury on March 31 and was replaced by UFC newcomer Alberto Uda.[4]
Joe Proctor was expected to face Erik Koch at the event. However, Proctor pulled out of the fight on April 21 citing injury and was replaced by Shane Campbell.[5]
Carlos Diego Ferreira was expected to face Abel Trujillo, but was pulled from the event on May 13 due to a potential USADA anti-doping violation stemming from a recent out-of-competition sample collection. In accordance with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy, Ferreira has received a provisional suspension. Additional violation information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward.[6] He was replaced by UFC newcomer Jordan Rinaldi.[7]
