Bout 11-154lbs will feature the only female fight on the card. 154lbsYesenia Nelson, CDCR Chino vs Alison Jablonsky, Orange Co SD. Nelson was scheduled to compete in July but the fight was canceled. With Jablonsky stepping into the ring for the first time and Nelson anxious to get back in the ring this makes for a suspenseful, on the edge of your seat fight.

Bout 12- 205lbs, Ryan Hotchkiss, Barstow PD vs Manny Rocha, DPS-ICE. With two impressive wins Hotchkiss is making people take notice. An athletic guy who has taken a grasp of the sweet science. Rocha will be Hotchkiss toughest test. Rocha is a solid fighter and will be looking to knock off the undefeated Hotchkiss.

Main Event Rematch – 220lbs Mario “Fatt Daddy” Alonzo, CDCR Ironwood vs Jorge “The Bulldog” Salazar, RSO, Southwest. In their first meeting it was a battle of wills, 6 minutes of nonstop action.  Salazar would pick up the razor close decision win. On Friday night expect these guys to handle the decision themselves and not leave it up to the judges.
