Mateus Nicolau was supposed to face Manel Kape back in January, but their fight was postponed to the upcoming tournament, and then it was canceled altogether, with Nicolau being assigned a different opponent.

Alex Perez has already had a fight this year. He fought Muhammad Mokaev in early March and lost to him by decision. Last year, he had no official fights, and prior to that, he fought in the summer of 2022.

The co-main event will take place in the light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg), where American Ryan Spann will face Bogdan Gusarov from Uzbekistan.
