The main event featured Danni McCormack defending her strawweight title for the first time against Karolina Wójcik. “Polish Assassin” previously defeated McCormack in 2017 when they were both still amateur fighters, but the champion got her revenge in Boston when she submitted Wójcik in the fourth round. 

The co-main event was supposed to see Contender Series alum Valesca Machado take on UFC veteran Kalinda Faria. Machado already had one opponent pull out ahead of the event, and unfortunately Faria was unable to compete after making weight and the fight had to be scrapped.
