Calvin Kattar faces Giga Chikadze in the Fight Night headliner, with each man seeking to push his way into the title picture at 145lbs.
American Kattar (22-5) last fought 12 months ago, when he was on the wrong end of a historic beating against former champion Max Holloway, who broke numerous striking records en route to a comprehensive points win.
Chikadze (14-2), meanwhile, is seen as one of the hottest prospects at featherweight. The Georgian is unbeaten in three-and-a-half years and carries a nine-fight win streak into this bout.
