Fighters to Watch

Ezra Elliott (6-0-0) is the name on this card. Undefeated as a pro, fighting out of The MMA Lab, and stepping in against a veteran in Ashton Caniglia who's been in there 15 times at the professional level. Elliott has the tools to keep that zero, but Caniglia has the experience to test him.

Iasmin Casser da Silva (4-0-0) is also unbeaten and faces Gloria Dacosta in what should be a competitive featherweight scrap.

Alex Preissing (2-0-0) continues to build out of Fight Ready with two straight pro wins. Kendell Ward will be his toughest test at flyweight.

On the amateur side, keep an eye on Marcos Lugo Encinas (2-0-0) fighting for a title at flyweight, and Jace Jones (3-1-0) out of Red Hawk Academy looking to pick up amateur lightweight gold.
