Background

At the weigh-ins, Alexandre Bezerra and Alexandre de Almeida both missed weight for their featherweight bouts. As a result, both fighters were pulled from the card and their respective opponents - Jeremy Kennedy and Luis Rafael Laurentino - faced each other on the preliminary card. [2]

Ramsey Nijem was expected to face Ronys Torres at this event. However, Torres failed his medical tests prior to the weigh-ins and the bout was cancelled. Nijem was awarded three points toward a potential playoff spot. [2]

    Standings After Event

    The point system consists of outcome based scoring and bonuses for an early win. Under the outcome based scoring system, the winner of a fight receives 3 points and the loser receives 0 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. If a fighter misses weight, then the fighter that missed weight will receive 0 points and his opponent will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory. [3]
