Background

While not officially announced by the organization, the promotion is targeting a bantamweight bout between former WSOF Bantamweight Champion and UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Marlon Moraes and Cory Sandhagen to serve as the event headliner.[6]

A featherweight bout between Edson Barboza and Jeremy Stephens was briefly linked to the event.[7] However, Stephens declined the fight after indicating he did not feel the date allowed him adequate time to prepare and safely make the required weight. Barboza will now face Sodiq Yusuff instead.[8]
