Main card highlights? We’ve got five sizzling bouts:
Andres ‘Katz’ Katzourakis, the Greek sensation (11-0), will dance with Rick ‘Roughhouse’ Graham (10-34-4) for eight rounds at 160 pounds. Fresh off flattening Rafael Ibokwe, Katz aims to keep his loss column as clean as a freshly wiped chalkboard.
Next up, the MMA circle gets a treat with Mahamed Aly, the BJJ maestro, making his MMA debut against John ‘The Comeback Kid’ Ott (9-8). Expect an explosive mix of grappling and fisticuffs.
In the flyweight fiesta, Ephraim ‘Lightning’ Bui (7-0), known for his blinding speed and knockout artistry, squares off against Ernesto ‘The Endurer’ Irias (15-8-1). Bui’s eyes are set on being the first to send Irias to dreamland.
Heavyweight titans collide as Shelton ‘the Gravedigger’ Graves (10-6) defends his PCS crown against Rakim ‘the Boogeyman’ Cleveland (23-15). Will Graves bury another opponent, or will the Boogeyman turn the lights out?
Super Welterweight drama unfolds as Ivan Vazquez (9-0-2) defends his ABO title against Gilbert Venegas Jr (11-2). It’s a family affair with both fighters coached by their dads.
