UFC 269: Oliveira vs. Poirier was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on December 11, 2021, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.[3][4]

Background

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Charles Oliveira and former interim champion Dustin Poirier served as the event headliner.[5]

A UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship bout between current champion Amanda Nunes (also current UFC Women's Featherweight Champion) and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate bantamweight winner Julianna Peña took place at the event.[6] The pairing was previously scheduled to take place at UFC 265, but it was postponed after Nunes tested positive for COVID-19.[7]

A UFC Flyweight Championship trilogy bout between current champion Brandon Moreno and former champion Deiveson Figueiredo was expected to take place at the event.[8] The pairing first met at UFC 256 on December 12, 2020, resulting in a majority draw (Figueiredo retained the title).[9] Their second meeting took place at UFC 263 on June 12, where Moreno captured the title by submission in the third round.[10] Subsequently, the bout was moved to UFC 270 due to the addition of a welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards.[11] Masvidal later withdrew due to injury in early November and the bout was scrapped.[12]

A flyweight bout between former title challenger Alex Perez and Matt Schnell had been rescheduled for UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Till.[13] They were originally expected to meet at UFC 262, before Perez was forced to pull out due to undisclosed reasons.[14] They were then booked again at UFC on ESPN: Barboza vs. Chikadze, before being shifted to this event.[13] However, the bout was yet again postponed for unknown reasons to this event.[15] At the weigh-ins, Perez weighed in at 126.25 pounds (57.27 kg), which was 0.25 pounds (0.11 kg) over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Shortly after, officials announced that the bout had been cancelled as Schnell was forced to withdraw due to a medical issue.[16]

A women's flyweight bout between Montana De La Rosa and Maycee Barber was expected to take place at the event.[17] However, De La Rosa pulled out of the fight in early October citing injury and she was replaced by Erin Blanchfield.[18][19] In turn, Barber withdrew in early November due to undisclosed reasons.[20] Miranda Maverick was announced as her replacement.[21]

A middleweight bout between André Muniz and Dricus Du Plessis was scheduled for the event.[22] However, Du Plessis withdrew from the event due to injury and was replaced by Eryk Anders.[23]

A heavyweight bout between Augusto Sakai and Tai Tuivasa was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Vieira vs. Tate, but it was scrapped due to visa issues.[24] It took place at this event instead.[25]

At the weigh-ins, Priscila Cachoeira weighed in at 129 pounds, 3 pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Her bout proceeded at a catchweight and she was fined 30% of her purse, which went to her opponent Gillian Robertson.[16]
