Week 7
- Welterweight, Boris Medvedev (18-2) Vs. Richard Martins (8-1)
- Light heavyweight, Kim Tae In (5-0) Vs. Luke Fernandez (3-0)
- Welterweight, Shamidkhan Magomedov (9-1) Vs. Felix Klinkhammer (10-0)
- Bantamweight, Cody Chovancek (7-0) Vs. Mitch McKee (7-0)
- Welterweight, James Drago (7-2) Vs. Geovanis Palacios (7-0)
Notes: Felix Klinkhammer is the current ARES FC welterweight champion. He was supposed to compete on the Contender Series back in 2022, against Gabriel Bonfim, but withdrew. Since then, he’s continued his undefeated ways.
Shamidkhan Magomedov had a stint on The Ultimate Fighter 32, so he’s probably familiar to some UFC fans. He’s since defended his interim LFA title, so he could use another look.
James Drago should probably consider using the nickname “Death From Above” (“Siberian Express” probably doesn’t fit here). Come on, Rocky fans, don’t let us down and get the reference. In any case, he just picked up the ROC welterweight title in September.
