Here is what Fraser Coffeen said in his primer on the fight:

Ramsey Nijem (5-2; 1-1 UFC) was a finalist on season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter, losing to Tony Ferguson. He's since bounced back with a win over Danny Downes. Nijem has been sidelined a bit due to injury, and with only 7 fights to his name and 2 in the UFC, he has not yet made much of a mark on the organization. C.J. Keith (8-0) makes his UFC debut here. A pro since 2007, Keith has been fighting entirely in the California regional scene, where he is undefeated. So far, he has faced no opponents of note.
