Six undefeated fighters…two MMA veterans going head to head in a pro boxing debut for both of them, and a featured bout featuring a 3-0 vs 4-0…now that’s a show you don’t want to miss!

Let’s first talk about this unique boxing matchup featuring UFC and Bellator veteran Curtis Millender facing Bellator and KOC veteran John Mercurio in a six round bout. Both fighters had winning MMA records and each had over 15 pro mma fights, but they want to now put 10oz gloves and shoes on and start throwing jabs, hooks, and uppercuts. This bout alone is worth the price of admission!

Other great matchups find Santa Ana’s 3-0 Felipe Ruvalcaba vs 4-0 Juan De Dios Avilaout of Norwalk in a six round jr welterweight match up. MMA action will see Huntington Beach’s Victor Sydnor take on Los Angeles’ Christopher Cruz a talented amateur making his pro debut on Feb 17th. Nick Patea a FCOC veteran returns to face Ferrin Marcelin from Fontana in what could be an all out war in the Featherweight division.

Boxing fans will see the return of local stars in Darynn Leyva from Orange as he take on undefeated Sergio Gonzalez a FCOC veteran from Riverside standing at 3-0 (2KO’s). This bout set in the Super Lightweight division
