the world. This Mexican adventure has been incredible for

bottom and Saturday is no exception. We have a fantastic
main event and a deep card with some exciting young
fighters.

Wood to become World champion and he’s a great example of
the young talent here that needs to be unearthed and given
an opportunity, and all we do as promoters is make great
fights and deliver value for fight fans, and these cards see
hot prospects and World rated fighters continuously step up
and fight the very best in the business.”
