TUF 21 champion, Usman, 12th in the division's ranking, won the five fights he had in the organization, the most recent against Sean Strickland at UFC 210 last April. At 29 years old, the Nigerian has a record of ten wins and one defeat.

Durinho, 31 years old, is coming off a defeat to his compatriot Michel 'Trator', in the UFC Brasilia, in September 2016. This was the second defeat of the Brazilian's career, who went undefeated for ten fights, until being overcome by Rashid Magomedov, in November 2015. In total, there are two setbacks and four victories in the organization, being three by submission.

Saggo, who is the same age as the Brazilian, also comes from a stumble: he was defeated by Rustam Khabilov last December. The Canadian has five duels in the company, with three positive results and two negative results, having already beaten Leandro Buscapé from São Paulo.
