Prelims Set the Tone (Streaming on ESPN+ / Disney+)
Bobby Green vs Carlos Diego Ferreira – Lightweight Showdown
Two experienced lightweights bring heat to the cage. Green mixes sharp hands and elusive movement, while Ferreira leans on pressure, durability, and a sneaky ground game. A true chess match between volume and control.
Gerald Meerschaert vs Michał Oleksiejczuk – Classic Grappler vs Striker
With over 35 wins, Meerschaert is never out of a fight, especially when it hits the mat. Oleksiejczuk brings knockout power and aggressive stand-up — but can he keep it vertical?
Jessica Andrade vs Loopy Godinez – Firepower Meets Grit
Andrade, the former champ, returns to remind fans why she’s feared. Godinez counters with relentless forward pressure and scrappy takedowns. This one could steal the prelim spotlight.
Chase Hooper vs Alexander Hernandez – New Blood vs Redemption Arc
Hooper keeps evolving as a slick submission threat. Hernandez, needing a strong rebound, has the explosiveness to derail the rising contender. Styles clash, careers hang in the balance.

Edson Barboza vs Drakkar Klose – Striking Clinic vs Grinding Pressure
Barboza is still one of the most feared kickers in MMA. Klose, known for his pressure and chain wrestling, hopes to neutralize that with pace and grit. Expect tension from the first exchange.
Bryan Battle vs Nursulton Ruziboev – Clash of Momentum
Battle is making a quiet surge up the middleweight ladder. Ruziboev, with a massive record and plenty of tools, represents his toughest challenge yet. This one’s a dark horse pick for FOTN.
Karine Silva vs Dione Barbosa – Flyweight Opportunity
A last-minute shake-up sets up a golden shot for both. Silva brings proven finishing instincts. Barbosa, stepping in on short notice, could flip the script if she handles the pressure.
Bobby Green vs Diego Ferreira – Veteran Runback
In a stylistic duel, Green’s slick counters meet Ferreira’s grinding attack. It’s a rematch in spirit, and both want to make a statement. Technique, tempo, and toughness all collide here.
