 Lightweight's Brian Foster and Ramsey Nijem were expected to fight on this card, however both were ruled out of the tournament when Foster was unable to get licensed by the New Jersey athletic commission, and Nijem was unable to gain clearance from a medical suspension.As a result, Johnny Case vs. Jason High was made, with the winner determining the 155 divisions final playoff participant.On weigh in day however, the substitute fight had its own set back, as High missed the weight limit by 4.2 pounds, and the bout was scratched from the card all together.
