While not officially announced by the organization, the promotion is targeting a lightweight bout between former interim champion Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker to headline the event. The pairing was previously expected to headline an event on May 16 in San Diego, California. That event was effectively cancelled on April 20 after the California State Athletic Commission extended a moratorium on combat sports events through May 31 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
