Fiziev was coming off a decision loss to now-BMF champion Justin Gaethje earlier this year. He was looking to get back in the win column and prove he's one to watch for the UFC title. Gamrot was coming off a split decision win over Jalin Turner and looked to secure a win over the higher-ranked opponent on his climb toward UFC gold.
