Yamauchi has won back-to-back fights, winning his debut at welterweight against Levan Chokheli in his last bout.[2]

A bantamweight bout between Josh Hill and Matheus Mattos was scheduled for this event.[3] However, Mattos pulled out due to a knee injury requiring knee surgery and was replaced by Marcos Breno.[4]
