The card featured the return of Sean Sherk, who was suspended and stripped of his UFC lightweight title after he tested positive for steroids at UFC 73. He faced B.J. Penn, who had since won the vacated title against Joe Stevenson at UFC 80. This event also marked the last appearance of Tito Ortiz in the UFC for well over a year, as he was at the end of his contract and due to his feud with Dana White was not expected to re-sign at the time.
This event also marked the UFC debut of future UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin.
At the end of this event, the UFC awarded $75,000 to each of the fighters who received one of these three awards.[3]
