==Background==
While this was the first time the organization has held an event at the venue, it was the fifth time that UFC has hosted an event in [[Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County]]. Previous UFC events in the area took place at the [[Staples Center]].<ref name="UFC199" />
The event was expected to be headlined by a [[UFC Middleweight Championship]] rematch between current champion [[Luke Rockhold]] and former champion [[Chris Weidman]].<ref name="UFC199" /> They previously met at [[UFC 194]], when Rockhold won Weidman's title via fourth-round TKO.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/12/13/10021662/ufc-194-results-luke-rockhold-stuns-chris-weidman-to-win-middleweight|title=UFC 194 results: Luke Rockhold stuns Chris Weidman to win middleweight title|publisher=mmafighting.com|author=Dave Doyle|date=2015-12-13|access-date=2016-03-17}}</ref> However, Weidman pulled out on May 17 due to a [[spinal disc herniation|large extrusion herniation]] on his neck.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.flocombat.com/article/41884-chris-weidman-out-of-ufc-199-bout-with-luke-rockhold|title=Chris Weidman out of UFC 199 bout with Luke Rockhold|publisher=flocombat.com|author=Jeremy Botter|date=2016-05-17|access-date=2016-05-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2016/05/chris-weidman-explains-injury-that-forced-him-out-of-ufc-199-title-fight|title=Chris Weidman explains injury that forced him out of UFC 199 title fight|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Staff|date=2016-05-18|access-date=2016-05-18}}</ref> The first replacement choice was former [[List of Strikeforce champions#Middleweight Championship|Strikeforce Middleweight Champion]] [[Ronaldo Souza]], who lost his title to Rockhold in 2011, but he injured his [[Meniscus (anatomy)|meniscus]] in a win at [[UFC 198]] against former [[UFC Light Heavyweight Championship|UFC Light Heavyweight Champion]] [[Vitor Belfort]]. Therefore, he was replaced by [[The Ultimate Fighter 3]] winner [[Michael Bisping]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/5/18/11702070/michael-bisping-in-to-face-luke-rockhold-at-ufc-199-with-chris|title=Michael Bisping in to face Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 with Chris Weidman out|publisher=mmafighting.com|author=Marc Raimondi|date=2016-05-18|access-date=2016-05-18}}</ref> The fight was also a rematch as the two met previously in November 2014 at [[UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping]], with Rockhold winning via submission in the second round.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2014/11/ufc-fight-night-55-results-luke-rockhold-taps-michael-bisping-with-one-armed-guillotine|title=UFC Fight Night 55 results: Luke Rockhold taps Michael Bisping with one-armed guillotine|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Ben Fowlkes|date=2014-11-07|access-date=2016-05-18}}</ref>
The co-main event featured a [[UFC Bantamweight Championship]] trilogy bout between current two-time champion [[Dominick Cruz]] and former [[List of WEC champions#Featherweight Championship|WEC Featherweight Champion]] [[Urijah Faber]].<ref name="UFC199" /> The pairing first met at featherweight on [[2007 in WEC#WEC 26: Condit vs. Alessio|WEC 26]] in 2007, where Faber defeated Cruz via guillotine choke to defend his title.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/8/22/4639590/throwback-thursday-urijah-faber-vs-dominick-cruz-wec-26-2007-video|title=Throwback Thursday: Urijah Faber vs Dominick Cruz, WEC 26 (March 24, 2007)|publisher=bloodyelbow.com|author=T.P.

A lightweight bout between [[Evan Dunham]] and [[The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2]] winner [[Leonardo Santos (fighter)|Leonardo Santos]], originally scheduled for [[UFC 198]], was moved to this event after a minor injury to Dunham delayed the matchup a few weeks.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/3/15/11242150/evan-dunham-suffers-small-injury-fight-with-leonardo-santos-moved-to|title=Evan Dunham suffers 'small injury', fight with Leonardo Santos moved to UFC 199|publisher=mmafighting.com|author=Guilherme Cruz|date=2016-03-15|access-date=2016-03-16}}</ref> Subsequently, Santos pulled out on April 29 due to an undisclosed injury and was replaced by [[James Vick]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ufc.com/news/Friday-Fight-Update-043016|title=Friday fight update: Vick, Sasaki get fights|publisher=ufc.com|author=Thomas Gerbasi|date=2016-04-29|access-date=2016-04-29}}</ref> In turn, Dunham pulled out of that pairing on May 5 for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by [[Beneil Dariush]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/5/6/11611726/james-vick-vs-beneil-dariush-targeted-for-ufc-199|title=James Vick vs. Beneil Dariush targeted for UFC 199|publisher=mmafighting.com|author=Ariel Helwani|date=2016-05-06|access-date=2016-05-06}}</ref>

A lightweight bout between [[John Makdessi]] and [[Mehdi Baghdad]] was originally scheduled for this event, but on April 28 it was announced that the bout was moved to [[UFC Fight Night: dos Anjos vs. Alvarez]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2016/04/mehdi-baghdad-vs-john-makdessi-moves-from-ufc-199-in-june-to-ufc-fight-night-90-in-july|title=Mehdi Baghdad vs. John Makdessi moves from UFC 199 in June to UFC Fight Night 90 in July|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Mike Bohn|date=2016-04-28|access-date=2016-04-28}}</ref>
The event marked the first time fighters were allowed to weigh in for their bouts in the morning (starting 10 a.m.), rather than the traditional time of 4 p.m. used for public proceedings. They weighed in with a [[California State Athletic Commission]] (CSAC) official looking on so they would have less time to be dehydrated after their weight cuts and more time to rehydrate after making weight. They were back on hand to stand on the scale – ceremoniously, for the fans and media – and face off with their opponents. This is part of new measures for fighters' safety, with the CSAC creating new rules that will eventually be adapted to all the other athletic commissions.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2016/06/ufc-199-live-and-official-weigh-in-results-2|title=UFC 199 weigh-in results: Rockhold-Bisping, Cruz-Faber official for title fights|publisher=mmajunkie.com|author=Staff|date=2016-06-03|access-date=2016-06-04}}</ref>
