The co-main event sees Santiago Ponzinibbio coming off back-to-back losses attempting to get back in the win column against Carlston Harris, who was KO’d in his only fight last year.
Cesar Almeida is 2-1 in the UFC so far and now takes on Abdul Razak Alhassan, who has only won twice in his last eight fights.
