This will be Velasco's first fight since appearing on Dana White's Contender Series.
The rest of the main card sets the stage for this year.
- Featherweight: Anthony Gillemme was originally scheduled for an interim featherweight title fight, but this time he will face returning contender Wendell Araujo, who is returning to the featherweight division for the first time since October 2023.
- Bantamweight: Former champion Vilson Ndregioni takes on rising star Mark Gray. For Gray, a win could propel him toward a title shot.
- Welterweight: Eric Nolan and Kevin Pease were originally scheduled to clash for the vacant CFFC welterweight title. Even though Alonzo Turner upended that plan by defeating Nolan last December, the stage could still be set for a Nolan vs. Pease showdown. If both fighters win their current bouts, this matchup could become a reality.
