“I have been training for a few fights that fell through. I’m in shape and ready to go,"Řekl Odom. “When my team got the call we decided it was the right decision to take this opportunity.

 

“My power will be a big factor. Jackson has faced punchers before, but he hasn’t faced one like me. To je skvělá příležitost, and I will put on a show příští pátek.”

 

Undefeated top 10-ranked super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (15-0, 7 KO) faces Roman Ruben Reynoso (18-1-1, 7 KO) v 10 kole hlavní události. In an eight round lightweight bout, O'Shaquie Foster (10-1, 7 KO) meets Rolando Chinea (12-1-1, 6 KO).
