Background
editA featherweight bout between Arnold Allen and Calvin Kattar headlined the event.[3][4]
A featherweight bout between Ilia Topuria and Edson Barboza was expected to take place at the event.[5] However, Barboza withdrew in late September due to a knee injury and the bout was scrapped.[6]
Drakkar Klose was expected to face 2016 Olympic silver medalist in wrestling Mark Madsen in a lightweight bout.[7] However, Klose pulled out in mid-October due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[8] He was replaced by Grant Dawson and the bout was moved to UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs. Lemos a week later.[9][10]
Garrett Armfield and Christian Rodriguez were expected to meet in a bantamweight bout at the preliminary portion of the card.[11] However, Armfield pulled out on fight week due to a staph infection.[12] He was replaced by Joshua Weems.[13] At the weigh-ins, Weems weighed in at 139.5 pounds, three and a half pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 30% of his purse, which went to Rodriguez.[14]
Cody Durden was expected to face Kleydson Rodrigues on the card. However, Rodrigues withdrew from the bout and was replaced by LFA Flyweight Champion Carlos Mota on four days notice.[15]
