The flyweight division will have a decisive battle when Velimurad clashes with the veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist, Sean Santella. Sean Santella had specified that he will not be discounting Velimurad for his professional record due to his vast Combat Sambo experience and background.

Both Velimurad and Ikram are accompanied by Emiragaev Esedulla who is a prominent figure in the Dagestani mixed martial arts community. Esedulla had been an active influence in the career of the current UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
