In the headliner, The Korean Zombie squares off against Dan Ige in a battle of top-10 ranked featherweights looking to make a run for the title. The last time we saw The Korean Zombie fight was last fall on Fight Island when he dropped a unanimous decision to Brian Ortega, while the last time we saw Ige he was knocking out Gavin Tucker in just 22 seconds earlier this year.

In the co-main event, veteran submission specialist Aleksei Oleinik meets up-and-coming heavyweight Serghei Spivac.
