Both men are currently riding three-fight win streaks in the welterweight division with the belief being that a win here for either could take them to within one or two more victories of a shot at the Welterweight Championship.

Chiesa will step into the UFC Fight Island 8 main event with wins over former UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit, The Ultimate Fighter season one winner Diego Sanchez, and former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos behind him. Magny, on the other hand, is riding victories over Li Jingliang, Anthony Rocco Martin, and former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.
