A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and former LFA Middleweight Champion Gregory Rodrigues headlined the event.

A women's flyweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter: Team Peña vs. Team Nunes flyweight winner Juliana Miller and Carli Judice was scheduled for this event. However, Miller withdrew from the fight due to an injury, so the bout was scrapped and Judice was booked for another event.

A middleweight bout between Jacob Malkoun and Rodolfo Vieira was scheduled for this event. However, Malkoun withdrew from the fight due to an undisclosed injury. He was replaced by Andre Petroski.

However, Fernandes withdrew from the fight due to visa issues and was replaced by promotional newcomer Mashrabjon Ruziboev.
