Background
The event will mark the promotion's first visit to Uncasville and fourth in Connecticut state before it was rebranded promotion, since WSOF 31 in Mashantucket in June 2016.
The event is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight trilogy bout between former interim Bellator Heavyweight Champion Valentin Moldavsky and Linton Vassell. The pairing first met at Bellator 218 in March 2019, where Moldavsky won by unanimous decision. Their second meeting took place at Bellator 292 in March 2023, where Vassell won by knockout in the first round.
Roughly a month before the card there were a number of fight replacements made:
A previously announced heavyweight bout between Danilo Marques and Marcelo Nunes was cancelled as Nunes replaced former WSOF Heavyweight Champion Blagoy Ivanov against Oleg Popov and Marques replaced Steve Mowry against Gokhan Saricam.
In a women's flyweight bout, Saray Orozco replaced Kaytlin Neil against Sumiko Inaba.
On May 20th, It was announced that Davion Franklin was replacing Marcelo Nunes against Oleg Popov and Marcelo Golm was replacing Daniel James against Tyrell Fortune.
Sergei Bilostenniy was expected to face Denis Goltsov in a heavyweight bout at this event, but he pulled out for unknown reason and was replaced by Thiago Santos.
