Background
Chas Skelly was expected to fight Georgi Karakhanyan in a fourth season featherweight tournament qualifier bout. However, Skelly injured himself during training and was forced to pull out of the bout. Skelly's replacement was to be UFC veteran, Alvin Robinson.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=12159&zoneid=13|title=BELLATOR SIGNS UFC VET ALVIN ROBINSON|date=July 28, 2010}}{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} However, Robinson was also forced to pull out of the bout due to injury.

Toney Canales and J.C. Pennington were set to fight, but for unknown reasons, the fight was pulled at the last minute.
The card took place in the same city and during the same night and time as the 2010 NFL season opener, a rematch of the NFC Championship game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings, a decision in MMA to counter-program a marquee NFL event which may have had adverse effect on local ticket sales.{{cite web|url=http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2010/08/championship_parade_in_new_orl.html|title=Championship Parade in New Orleans will kick-off NFL Season Sept. 9|date=August 15, 2010}}

The main event was supposed to feature Eddie Alvarez defending his lightweight title against season two's lightweight tournament winner, Pat Curran. Curran injured himself during training so Alvarez instead fought Roger Huerta in a non-title fight.
Wilson Reis vs. Deividas Taurosevičius was set to air as a part of the night's main card; however, the fight was not aired for unknown reasons.
