  • Liz Carmouche, a former Bellator flyweight champion who challenged for UFC titles multiple times, faced jiu-jitsu specialist Jena Bishop in the women’s flyweight final.
  • Marcirley Alves and Justin Wetzell entered the bantamweight final as tournament alternates after injuries to original contenders reshaped the bracket.
  • Featherweight contender Damion Nelson missed weight for his bout with Isaiah Diggs, resulting in a purse penalty and catchweight reclassification.
