The first four bouts have been added to UFC On Fox 20 as Ryan LaFlare faces Alexander Yakovlev, George Sullivan faces Hector Urbina, James Moontasri faces Alex Oliveira and Luis Henrique faces Dmitry Smolyakov. LaFlare has won five of six fights under the UFC banner, most notably defeating Mike Pierce at the UFC Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale. Yakovlev will enter the fight riding a two fight winning streak, last defeating George Sullivan at UFC On Fox 18.

Sullivan has won just one of his last three under the UFC banner, with that lone win coming over Dominic Waters at the UFC Ultimate Fighter 21 Finale. Urbina will be looking to rebound from his first loss under the UFC banner, which came to Bartosz Fabinski at UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Gastelum. Moontasri has rotated wins and losses throughout his UFC run, with his last fight being a win over Anton Zafir at UFC 193. Oliveira has won three of his last four under the UFC banner, most notably defeating KJ Noons at UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Alves.

Henrique is currently winless under the UFC banner, having dropped a fight to Francis Ngannou at UFC On Fox 17. Smolyakov will be making his UFC debut in this fight and all eight of his professional MMA wins came via first round finishes. UFC On Fox 20 takes place on July 23rd from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois with no headliner announced as of yet.
