UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Cruz (also known as UFC on ESPN 41) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on August 13, 2022, at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, United States.[2]

Background

A bantamweight bout between Marlon Vera and former two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion (also former WEC Bantamweight Champion) Dominick Cruz headlined the event.[2]

Viviane Araújo was expected to face Alexa Grasso in a women's flyweight bout.[3] The pair was previously scheduled to meet at UFC 270, but Araújo was forced to pull out from the event due to injury.[4] In turn, Grasso pulled out due to visa issues and the bout was scrapped.[5]

A women's strawweight bout between Yazmin Jauregui and Istela Nunes was expected to take place at the event.[6] However, Nunes withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Iasmin Lucindo.[7]

Cynthia Calvillo and Nina Nunes were previously scheduled to meet in a women's flyweight bout at UFC on ESPN: dos Anjos vs. Fiziev.[8] In turn, Nunes fell ill on the day of that event and the bout was postponed to this date.[9]

A flyweight bout between Malcolm Gordon and Allan Nascimento was expected to take place at this event.[10] However, Gordon pulled out in late July due to an undisclosed injury and the bout was scrapped.[11]

A women's bantamweight bout featuring Aspen Ladd and 2004 Olympic silver medalist in wrestling and former UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship challenger Sara McMann was expected to take place at the event.[12] They were supposed to fight at UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker in June 2020, but Ladd was forced to withdraw from that event after tearing both her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) in training.[13] The pairing was once again scrapped as Ladd tested positive for COVID-19 this time.[14] They were rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Song on September 17.[15]

A bantamweight bout between Youssef Zalal and Cristian Quiñonez was expected to take the event.[16] However, Quiñonez was pulled from the fight due to alleged visa issues which restricted his travel and was replaced by Da'Mon Blackshear.[17]

A welterweight bout between Jason Witt and Josh Quinlan was expected to take place one week prior at UFC on ESPN: Santos vs. Hill, but it was moved to this event after Quinlan was pulled for an atypical drug finding: long-term metabolite (or M3 metabolite) of the steroid dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (DHCMT) in his urine sample. They met in a catchweight of 180 pounds.[18]

Former KSW Women's Flyweight Champion Ariane Lipski and Priscila Cachoeira were previously scheduled to meet in a flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacaré, but the fight was cancelled after Cachoeira was suspended due to use of a diuretic.[19] They were then expected to meet at UFC on ESPN: Santos vs. Hill, but after Lipski missed weight and was not medically cleared, they were rescheduled for this event in a bantamweight bout.[20]
