Background[edit]
The event will be the first that the promotion has hosted in Rio Rancho, after previously contesting UFC Fight Night: Henderson vs. Khabilov in nearby Albuquerque in June 2014.[2] Zuffa previously hosted a World Extreme Cagefighting event, WEC 32, at the venue in 2008.[3]
A light heavyweight rematch between The Ultimate Fighter: Team Edgar vs. Team Penn light heavyweight winner Corey Anderson and former KSW Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Błachowicz is expected to serve as the event headliner in a possible title eliminator.[4] The pairing previously met in September 2015 at UFC 191, with Anderson winning the encounter via unanimous decision.[5]
