This event was built around a high-level Heavyweight title matchup between Randy Couture and Pedro Rizzo, viewed at the time as two of the most technical heavyweights in the sport. The card also marked the professional debut of BJ Penn. It operated under the Unified Rules adopted by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board weeks earlier, locking in standardized weight classes at 155, 170, 185, and 205 pounds.
