Alan Omer was expected to face Mirsad Bektic at the event. On January 12, Omer pulled out of the fight with an undisclosed injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Paul Redmond.

Paul Redmond missed weight on his first attempt at the weigh ins, coming in at 149 pounds. He was given additional time to make the featherweight limit, but made no attempt to cut further. Instead, he was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Mirsad Bektic.
