The show picks up right where we left off at the aftermath of the Akira Corassani defeat of Dustin Neace. Neace is still bitter about the fight not being stopped in the first round as he secured a deep heel hook submission, and caused Akira to tap. Regardless if Akira's tap was seen or not seen by the referee, Neace should have held the submission until the referee had broken up the fight. Instead, it looked like Neace loosened the hold right after he felt Akira tap, giving Akira an opportunity to escape and continue the fight. Jason Mayhem Miller chalks up the fight as a great learning experience for Neace and the rest of his team to not stop fighting until the referee stops you from fighting.

Kenny Florian will quite frankly be known as a fighter who came very close to greatness, but was never quite great. He had three different title opportunities and came up shy all three times. His first lightweight title shot was against Sean Sherk for the vacant title at the time and he lost by decision. He then racked up a six fight winning streak before falling to BJ Penn in another title fight by rear naked choke. Another crack at the lightweight title was just around the corner, but Gray Maynard halted that one. Following his loss to Maynard, Florian decided to give the featherweight division a shot.
