Event chronology

UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Reis (also known as UFC on Fox 24) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on April 15, 2017, at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.^[2]^[3]

Background

The event was the first that the UFC has hosted in the state of Missouri and the Kansas City metropolitan area.^[2]

A UFC Flyweight Championship match between current champion Demetrious Johnson and Wilson Reis headlined this event.^[4] The pairing was originally booked for UFC 201, but Johnson pulled out due to an undisclosed injury and the bout was scrapped.^[5]

UFC officials were initially targeting a featherweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Champion Renan Barão and Choi Doo-ho to serve as the event headliner.^[6] However, as the announcement of the pairing began to circulate, Choi declined the bout, and as a result, Barao was rescheduled against a different opponent at another event.^[7]
