Both Gutierrez and Ewell typically compete at bantamweight, but since the fight is taking place on short notice it could be held at featherweight, instead.

Ewell (17-6) has been a member of the UFC roster since 2018, going 4-2 in the promotion with wins over Renan Barao, Anderson dos Santos, Jonathan Martinez, and Irwin Rivera, with losses to Marlon Vera and Nathaniel Wood.
