Fishgold is coming off of a submission loss to Makwan Amirkhani at UFC Fight Night 153. Before that, he submitted Daniel Teymur at UFC Fight Night 145 in February to earn his first Octagon win. The Englishman is 18-3-1 over the course of a professional career that includes stints with Cage Warriors and BAMMA.

Quarantillo, meanwhile, is riding a five-fight winning streak that includes an impressive TKO win over Kamuela Kirk on Dana White’s Contender Series earlier this summer. Prior to earning a UFC contract, Quarantillo fought on the regional circuit, earning a notable win over current UFC talent Khama Worthy. Quarantillo is 12-2 as a pro with nine victories coming inside the distance.
