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.
Former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger (also The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions flyweight winner) Tim Elliott was expected to face Amir Albazi in a flyweight bout.[5] However, Elliott pulled out in mid June due to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus injuries.[6][7] Albazi was rescheduled against Francisco Figueiredo at UFC 278.[8]
