Headlining the main event was a lightweight battle between the resurgent Drew Fickett and the very game Brian Cobb. Cobb stepped in after Hermes Franca's legal issues and breach of contract forced the MFC to release him from the promotion and cancel his title fight.
Also on the card was a pair of UFC veterans Marcus Davis and Pete Spratt who were battling in a rematch from nearly four years ago at UFC 69. Spratt was out for revenge after losing to Davis via Achilles lock the last time out.
The brother of exiled MFC welterweight champion Douglas Lima, Dhiego Lima also competed on the card as well taking on Jamie Toney in a welterweight showdown.
