Up and down the card there are hometown heroes, veterans and rising stars to be found with the promotion stacking the deck in a way that’s rarely seen on a Fight Night event.

A special six-fight main card will be preceded by some intriguing prelims for a show that American fans can sit back and enjoy in the afternoon as opposed to the evening.
