Stoliarenko collapsed during her initial weigh-in attempt, crashing into the UFC banner behind her. She was helped to her feet and spent some time sitting on a chair before being permitted to weigh-in again. After weighing in, Stoliarenko tried to step off the scale and immediately lost her footing. She was held up by UFC officials; however, her legs crumpled as she briefly slipped into unconsciousness.

Avila confirmed the fight was off and wished her opponent a speedy recovery.
