UFC: Fight for the Troops 3 (also known as UFC Fight Night 31) was a mixed martial arts event held on November 6, 2013, at Fort Campbell in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.[1][2] The event was broadcast live on Fox Sports 1.

Background

The event was the fourth that UFC hosted in cooperation with a US military base, following UFC Fight Night: Sanchez vs. Riggs in 2006, UFC: Fight for the Troops in 2008 and UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 in 2011. Featured on the card were several United States Armed Forces military veterans including Tim Kennedy, Liz Carmouche, Colton Smith and Neil Magny.[3]

A bout between George Roop and Francisco Rivera, previously linked to UFC 166 was moved to this event to bolster the card.[4]

Nik Lentz was briefly scheduled to face Dennis Bermudez at the event.[5] However, Lentz was pulled from the pairing with Bermudez in favor of a bout with Chad Mendes on December 14, 2013 at UFC on Fox 9.[6] Bermudez then faced Steven Siler.[7]

Derek Brunson was originally scheduled to face Antônio Braga Neto on this card. However, Neto withdrew due to an injury and was replaced by UFC newcomer Brian Houston.[8]

Tim Kennedy was expected to face Lyoto Machida in the event headliner. However, Machida was pulled from the bout in favor of a matchup with Mark Muñoz on October 26, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 30, after Muñoz's original opponent, Michael Bisping was forced out of their bout with an injury.[9] Kennedy instead faced Rafael Natal in the event headliner.[10]
