Background

A middleweight bout between former LFA Middleweight Champion Brendan Allen and Paul Craig headlined the event.[3]

A featherweight bout between Jeka Saragih and Jesse Butler was scheduled for this event.[4] However, Butler withdrew due to injury and was briefly replaced by Charlie Campbell.[5] The promotion then announced that Lucas Alexander would step in and face Saragih instead.[6] At the weigh-ins, Alexander weighed in at 148 pounds, two pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight with Alexander being fined 20% of his purse which went to Saragih.[7]

Jonny Parsons was expected to face Uroš Medić in a welterweight bout at the event.[11] However, Parsons was pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Myktybek Orolbai.[10]

At the weigh-ins, Rafael Estevam weighed in at 128 pounds, two pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. The fight proceeded at catchweight with Estevam being fined 20% of his purse which went to his opponent Charles Johnson.[7]
