Chris Brown
Welterweight
10-4
USA
34
Brown has had a long up-and-down road but it’s all starting to pay off slowly. Unfortunately, every time he got a big fight he seemed to fall short. That was the case until last year. He handed top prospects Haris Talundžić and Alfonso Leyva their first loss and won the LFA welterweight title. Brown has a background in wrestling but his unorthodox striking is what stands out. He throws a lot of flashy kicks and throws from odd angles. It’s a style he mastered and it works for him.
Anastasia Nikolakakos
Atomweight
4-0

I wish Nikolakakos was more active because I think she’s the real deal. She did fight last August making her return after a four-year layoff almost. She returned in a big way winning a regional title. Nikolakakos has smothering pressure/wrestling, a strong grappling presence, and a deep gas tank. She can really be something if he’s heart in it all the way.
