Just one spot separates Calvin Katter and Arnold Allen in the UFC featherweight rankings - sitting at number-five and number-six respectively.

After suffering a devastating loss to former champion Max Holloway, Kattar bounced back in a big way when he became the first man to defeat Giga Chikadze in the UFC.

However, Kattar lost his most recent bout via split-decision to Josh Emmett. 

All of Kattar’s last three fights were awarded fight of the night honors.

England’s Arnold Allen has remained undefeated in the UFC - having won all nine of his fights in the promotion.

He last fought in March - earning a first-round TKO over Dan Hooker.

Kattar will be the taller and longer man in this main event bout but it is Allen who has been pegged as the slight favorite.

With black belts in kickboxing and bok fu, Max Griffin looks to get back into the win column after losing to Neil Magny by split-decision this past March.

Like his opponent, Tim Means also recently had a winning streak snapped when he lost to Kevin Holland by second-round submission in June.

Despite standing three-inches taller than Griffin, Tim Means will actually find himself at a one-inch reach disadvantage. 

 Means is listed as a +140 underdog heading into Saturday’s event.

Heavyweight Jared Vanderaa has lost his last four-fights in a row and will now go toe-to-toe with Waldo Cortes-Acosta - a fighter making his UFC debut and who remains undefeated as a professional.

Vanderaa last fought in July - suffering a third-round TKO loss to Chase Sherman.

Cortes-Acosta last fought in the Contender Series in August - defeating Danilo Suzart via first-round TKO.

Vanderaa will have a two-inch reach advantage but it is the undefeated newcomer Cortes-Acosta who is listed as the -200 favorite - the biggest betting favorite on this main card.
