Irene Aldana opens up the show to preview her main event fight against Holly Holm. The Mexican discusses having COVID-19 and the symptoms she felt and how happy she is Holm agreed to delay the fight. Aldana then talks about what a win over Holm does for her and how she is closing in on a title shot with a win.
Brandon Royval then comes on just days after his massive UFC 253 win over Kai Kara-France. The flyweight talks about the crazy sequence to begin round two, being the first person since 2014 to finish Kara-France and getting another $50k bonus.

Casey Kenney then closes out the show previewing his scrap against Heili Alateng. The bantamweight discusses whether or not he was surprised this was his opponent given the momentum he has. Kenney also talks about being able to compete on the card with his teammate, Kyle Phillips, and where a win over Alateng puts him in the division.
