His impressive resume includes victories over: Френкі Едгар, Donald Cerrone, Gilbert Melendez, Нейт Діас, Jim Miller and Bellator’s Josh Thomson. Але “Smooth” has never faced an angry “Pitbull” in one of the most important fights of his life.
Патрік “Pitbull” Freiere is a former featherweight world champion who is stepping up to lightweight in the biggest challenge of his decorated career.

But to avenge his brother’s loss, he must first defeat the highly-regarded “Bendo.”

The tripleheader also features all-action slugger Альфредо Ангуло (24-5)taking on battle-tested Freddy Hernandez (33-8)in a battle of Mexican brawlers. A fan favorite in Southern California, Angulo enters this fight coming off of two knockout victories and he will look to make it three in a row when he steps into the ring onСерпня 27. A veteran of many exciting 154-pound contests, Angulo is looking to continue to make noise in the middleweight division against Hernandez, who has won his last three fights heading into this showdown.
Rounding out the night of televised fights is 2012 U.S. Олімпієць Террелл Gausha(18-0) putting his undefeated record on the line against the Bronx’s Стів Мартінес(16-2). Боротьба з Клівленда, Gausha has risen up the rankings with five victories in 2015 and a seventh round stoppage of Orlando Lora in April. Now he will test himself against against the dangerous Martinez, who has recorded knockouts in 13 з його 16 перемоги.
