The preliminary card at UFC Vegas 41 featured an exciting bout between Jai Herbert and Khama Worthy at lightweight. The former Cage Warriors champions was winless in his UFC career thus far, having succumbed to back-to-back losses against the likes of  Francisco Trinaldo and Renato Moicano. 

Worthy on the other hand, also came into the bout on the back of two consecutive knockout losses against the likes of Ottman Azaitar and Jamie Mullarkey. The fight was a must-win for both men as the risk of getting cut from the promotion significantly increases once a fighter is on a three-fight skid.
