Christian Lee joined the Grand Prix Final as Alvarez's ankle injury.

Featherweight title fights in 2018 were regretted with a decision of 1-2, but growth is still steep, with a lighter league in one year.
Arslaneliev lost seven wins and one loss in the first championship, but this is the first time in a title match or tournament final.
