A quintessential striker versus grappler matchup will take center stage as No. 4-ranked lightweight contender Islam Makhachev faces late replacement Bobby Green. ‘King’ will be looking to take a major step forward in the talent-rich division after replacing Beneil Dariush for the event.
The much-awaited bout will be contested at a catchweight of 160 lb, instead of the predefined 155 lb divisional weight.
The co-main event sees a middleweight clash between Misha Cirkunov and Wellington Turman. Cirkunov will make his second appearance at the weight class after an unsuccessful outing in October last year.
It is an important match for both fighters, who have struggled for consistency in their recent bouts. A loss for either man could be detrimental to their career.
