Clashing in the main event at 155 lbs. are Guam’s Ryan “The Dentist” Urquizu and Trench Tech’s Giovanni “Palakse” Sablan. Hailing from Team Fight To Win, Urquizu boasts an MMA record of 14 wins and four losses, with one loss coming from Sablan during their fight in Preba Hao 10. The revenge match between both fighters “is the most anticipated rematch of the decade and will definitely be a fight of the ages,” said Trench Tech president Cuki Alvarez.
Along with the main event is a USA vs. Japan super fight between American Kick Boxing Academy’s JJ Ambrose (7W-2L) and PureBred Japan’s Masakazu Taguchi (3W-5L). Ambrose appeared in The Ultimate Fighter season 12, and is an expert in jiu jitsu like Taguchi.
