Background [ edit ]

A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Chan Sung Jung and Dan Ige served as the event headliner. [4]

A welterweight bout between Tim Means and Danny Roberts was briefly linked to the event. [5] However, Roberts was removed from the pairing by the promotion in the days leading up to the event due to COVID-19 protocols, while Means was rebooked a week later against Nicolas Dalby . [6]

A flyweight bout between Tagir Ulanbekov and Tyson Nam was expected to take place at the event. [7] However, the bout was never officially announced by the promotion and the matchup did not take place on the card due to a recent undisclosed illness for Ulanbekov. [8]
