Key Matchups

Luis ‘Baboon’ Palomino (+112) vs.Howard Davis (-149) – Lightweight

A battle of the veterans ensues on Thursday evening when Luis Palomino meets Howard Davis. Both fighters have entered the squared circle ten times, with the Peruvian only losing one bout. His American opponent Howard Davis has lost twice and carries a draw next to his name. Davis holds a 10-inch reach advantage in this bout, but “Baboon” Palomino is a smart fighter who throws few punches, but lands a higher percentage than most of his opponents.

Leonardo ‘El Zambo’ Perdomo (-714) vs. Steve Herelius (+419) – Heavyweight

It’s an all-out International affair in the co-main event, where Cuba battles France. Leonardo “El Zambo” Perdomo looks to remain unbeaten in the squared circle. The Cuban has ended every fight in the squared circle in the first round so far, and he is favored to do it again against Herelius. The Frenchman holds an 8-inch reach advantage, but his work is cut out for him after losing his last fight to Josh Copeland by TKO in the third round.

Justin ‘Joy Boy’ Ibarrola Sanchez (-450) vs. Abdiel Velazquez (+297) – Bantamweight

Justin Ibarrola Sanchez and Abdiel Velazquez enter the Seminole Hard Rock Arena with contrasting records. Ibarrola is unbeaten after six fights in the league, while the Puerto Rican is four from eight. The unbeaten fighter has taken three of his duels the distance, winning by unanimous decision on each occasion. Velazquez is a smart fighter, up for a brawl, while Ibarrola is a more rounded fighter, with the arsenal for any occasion.

 Matt ‘Rambo’ Russo (-148) vs. Justin ‘The Nightmare’ Street (+112) –Bantamweight

Two minutes is the longest time Matt “Rambo” Russo has spent in a squared circle for a single BKFC fight. That was in his BKFC debut when he scored a TKO over Brett Lowry. He throws a powerful punch and strives to finish fights early. Rambo enters this battle with a 4-inch reach advantage over Justin Street, a fighter who has lost two of his three fights in the Championship.

Julio ‘The Cuban Horse’ Perez Rodriguez (-2264) vs. Lewis Glover (+790) –Cruiserweight
