Background

A training injury forced Jason MacDonald out of his fight with Rafael Natal on October 20, 2010. He was replaced by UFC newcomer Jesse Bongfeldt.^[4]

On October 26, 2010, Anthony Waldburger had to pull out of his fight with Matthew Riddle due to an injury.^[5] He was replaced by Sean Pierson.^[6]

UFC 124 featured live preliminary bouts streamed on UFC.com rather than Spike TV due to the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards being aired in the same time slot.^[7]

UFC 124 marked the first – and only – time that the UFC let the fans vote online for the Fight of the Night.^[8] Dana White stated after that he would never do this again and said "The real fight of the night belonged to Matt Riddle and Sean Pierson".
