Background

The event was expected to be headlined by a Lightweight Championship bout between undefeated champion Justin Gaethje and Ozzy Dugulubgov.[1] However the fight was cancelled on the day of the event as Dugulubgov was stricken with an illness.[2]

David Branch will defend his WSOF Light Heavyweight Championship against Vinny Magalhães in the main event.[3]

The fight between Jason High and João Zeferino was changed from a lightweight bout to a catchweight bout after High missed weight.[4]
