Background

edit

Tyrone Spong was scheduled to make his second appearance for promotion at this event in a match against Angel DeAnda. However, on May 1, it was announced that he had been pulled from the card due to visa issues.[3]

A match between Rolles Gracie and Dave Huckaba was supposed to be on the main card, but Gracie was forced out due to injury and the fight was cancelled.[4]

Jeff Smith also replaced an injured Chris Greutzemacher on the preliminary card.[5]
