Background

edit

The event marked the promotion's first visit to Idaho.[2]

A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos and former WSOF Heavyweight Champion Blagoy Ivanov served as the event headliner.[3]

A strawweight bout between former WSOF Women's Strawweight Champion Jessica Aguilar and Jodie Esquibel was originally expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Rivera vs. Moraes. However the bout was removed from the card the day of the event by the NYSAC due to a concern over a medical issue with Aguilar.[4] The pairing was rescheduled for this event.[5]

James Vick was expected to face Paul Felder at the event. However, on June 27, Vick was pulled from the bout to act as a replacement against former WSOF Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs. Vick.[6] In turn, Felder was moved to a welterweight bout against Mike Perry at UFC 226.[7]
