Usman was originally scheduled to take on Santiago Ponzinibbio, but the Argentinian had to pull out with a hand injury, making way for Maia, who is ranked 5th in the 170lb division, while Usman is behind him at 7th. The winner of this bout will themselves right into title contention.

It is not the most stacked card in history, but there are some interesting fights on the main card with Jared Cannonier taking on an undefeated Dominic Reyes in light heavyweight bout, Diego Rivas and Guido Cannetti in a bantamweight bout.
