The event marked the promotion's 13th visit to San Jose and first since Bellator 277 in April 2022. As part of the $1 million Bellator Lightweight World Grand Prix, a Bellator Lightweight World Championship bout between current champion Usman Nurmagomedov and Benson Henderson (former WEC and UFC Lightweight Champion) headlined the event. In the co-main event, Tofiq Musayev faced off against Alexandr Shabliy in a quarterfinal match. After the main event bout, Henderson announced his retirement from professional mixed martial arts. A bantamweight bout between former title challenger Leandro Higo (also former LFA Bantamweight Champion) and James Gallagher was scheduled for this event. However, in Mid February, Gallagher pulled out of the bout due to undisclosed reasons and the bout was scrapped. A women's flyweight bout between Keri Taylor-Melendez and Bruna Ellen was scheduled for this event. However, at the end of February, Taylor-Melendez pulled out of the bout and it was scrapped. At the weigh-ins, Cass Bell weighed in at 145.2 pounds, 9.2 pounds over the non-title bantamweight fight limit.
