UFC Fight Night: Mendes vs. Lamas (also known as UFC Fight Night 63) was a mixed martial arts event held on April 4, 2015 at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia.[2]

Background

The event was the third that the organization has hosted at the venue and first since 2012.[3] The preliminary portion of the card began at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT, with the main card starting at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT, a rare time slot for UFC events held in North America.[4]

The event was headlined by a featherweight bout between former title challengers Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas.[4]

Jorge Masvidal was briefly linked to a bout with Bobby Green at the event. However, shortly after the bout was announced by the UFC, Green pulled out of the bout citing a leg injury and was replaced by former WEC & UFC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson[5] Subsequently, Henderson was removed from the bout with Masvidal as he was tabbed as a replacement for Stephen Thompson to face Brandon Thatch in the event headliner on February 14, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 60.[6] On February 2, Al Iaquinta was announced as Masvidal's new opponent.[7]

Clint Hester was expected to face Luke Barnatt at this event. However, Hester pulled out of the fight in early March due to a foot injury.[8] Subsequently, Barnatt was pulled from the card entirely in favor of a matchup with Mark Muñoz in May at UFC Fight Night 66.[9]
