Background

A lightweight bout between Arman Tsarukyan and former KSW Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Mateusz Gamrot headlined the event.^[3]

A flyweight bout between Tagir Ulanbekov and Tyson Nam was expected to take place at the event, despite never being officially announced.^[4] They were originally expected to meet a year earlier at UFC on ESPN: The Korean Zombie vs. Ige, but the matchup did not take place due to an undisclosed illness for Ulanbekov.
