On the preliminary card, Brazilian heavyweight Marcus "Montanha" Vinicius Lopes (13-6-0) and Russian Asioya Kluytiova (1-0-0) both used ground-and-pound attacks to win their matches, respectively, against Russian Maksin Yakobyuk (2-1-0) in the second found and Zejna "Sei" Krantic (0-2-0) in the third round of a rare M-1 female fight.
