Description

The card is expected to be headlined by a welterweight bout between former UFC Welterweight title challenger Rory MacDonald and five-time kickboxing world champion Stephen Thompson.
This event will mark the promotion's inaugural fight in the women's flyweight division as former UFC Women's Strawweight Championship challenger Valérie Létourneau will face Joanne Calderwood. Despite that, a formal introduction of the division has not yet been made since promotion officials are still determining whether or not to permanently add the division.
Norifumi Yamamoto was scheduled to face Chris Beal at the event. However, Yamamoto was pulled from the bout on May 26 due to an undisclosed injury. He was replaced by former Bellator Featherweight Champion and one time UFC Bantamweight Championship challenger Joe Soto.
