Background
[edit]The event marked the promotion's seventh visit to Sacramento and first since UFC Fight Night: de Randamie vs. Ladd in July 2019.[2] There were initial reports that the event would take place at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, but for undisclosed reasons, it was later shifted to Sacramento.[3]
A middleweight bout between former LFA Middleweight Champions Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues headlined the event.[4]
A featherweight bout between Danny Silva and Márcio Barbosa was scheduled for the event.[5] However, Silva withdrew due to being hospitalized by sudden pulmonary embolism.[6] As a result, Barbosa competed at this event against promotional newcomer Ryan Kuse instead.[7]
