Bermudez was scheduled to face Benito Lopez on January 26, 2019, at UFC 233.[11] As a result of the cancellation of UFC 233, the pair was rescheduled to UFC on ESPN: Ngannou vs. Velasquez on February 17, 2019.[12] At the weigh-ins, Bermudez weighed in at 140 pounds, 4 pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight upper limit of 136 pounds.

A bantamweight bout between Bermudez and Casey Kenney was originally scheduled to on August 17, 2019, at UFC 241.[16] However, the UFC decided to move the bout to a catchweight bout of 140 lbs. due to the fighters cutting substantial weight the night before weigh-ins.[17] Bermudez lost the bout via unanimous decision.[18]
