A light heavyweight bout between former KSW Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Błachowicz and Thiago Santos served as the event headliner.[3][4]

Sam Alvey was expected to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov at the event. However on January 25, it was reported that Alvey was chosen as a replacement for another bout at UFC 234 and the bout was scrapped.[7]

Ramazan Emeev was expected to face Michel Prazeres at this event. However on February 4, it was reported that Emeev pulled out of the bout citing injury.[8] He was replaced by promotional newcomer Ismail Naurdiev.[9]
