Background

Rashid Magomedov was expected to face Jason High at this event, however Magomedev was removed from the bout due to injury and replaced by Efrain Escudero.[3] On weigh in day, the fight suffered another set back as Escudero missed the 156-pound weight limit by six pounds. As a result, Escudero became ineligible to earn points regardless of the outcome.
