Background
A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabrício Werdum and former Bellator Heavyweight Champion Alexander Volkov headlined this event.[2]
Promotional newcomer Dmitry Poberezhets was expected to face Mark Godbeer at this event. However, Poberezhets was forced to pull out from the card on January 25 due to injury and was replaced by fellow newcomer Dmitry Sosnovskiy.[3]
Rustam Khabilov was expected to face Kajan Johnson at this event. However, Khabilov pulled out of the fight on February 8 citing injury. Johnson is expected to remain on the card against Stevie Ray.[4][5]
Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos was scheduled to face Jack Marshman at the event. However, Zaleski pulled out of the fight on February 19 citing a knee injury.[6] He was replaced by Brad Scott.[7] In turn, Marshman was removed from the card two days before the event for medical issues surrounding his weight cut and his fight with Scott was scrapped.[8]
On February 8, 2018, it was reported that the lightweight bout between Nasrat Haqparast and Alex Reyes was cancelled as Reyes pulled out due to injury.[9] On March 12, it was reported that Cage Warriors Featherweight Champion Nad Narimani will fight Nasrat Haqparast.[10] The bout was scrapped minutes before the event as Haqparast was deemed unfit to fight by the medical team due to an infectious eye condition.[11]
