The contest pits the reigning middleweight champion Alex Pereira, who moves up a weight class to challenge former challenger Donegi Abena for the interim belt. The encounter is scheduled for five rounds.

The kick off of the main card suffered a change when Itay Gershon was forced to withdraw from his lightweight bout against Josh Jauncey due to rib injury. He was replaced by three-fight GLORY Kickboxing veteran Lorawnt Nelson.

The main card follows the Super Fight Series part of the program topped by former champions women’s super bantamweight champions Tiffany van Soest and Jady Menezes.
