Background
A heavyweight bout between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Augusto Sakai is expected to serve as the event's headliner.
A women’s strawweight bout between Amanda Ribas and former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill was originally expected to take place at UFC on ESPN: Rodriguez vs. Waterson, but it was postponed due to Ribas testing positive for COVID-19. They were then expected to meet at this event. Two weeks later, the pairing was scrapped once again as Ribas was still suffering from lingering COVID-19 symptoms.
Alessio Di Chirico was expected to face Roman Dolidze in a middleweight bout at the event. However, Di Chirico pulled out of the contest in mid-May due to an injury. He was replaced by Laureano Staropoli.
A middleweight bout between Duško Todorović and Maki Pitolo was expected to take place at this event. However, Pitolo pulled out due to an injury. Todorović is now expected to face promotional newcomer Gregory Rodrigues.
Nate Landwehr and Makwan Amirkhani were expected to meet in a featherweight contest. Due to an injury, Landwehr pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Kamuela Kirk.
