Jose Carlos Ramirez vs. Arnold Barboza

Since then, Ramirez has scored three wins over fighters whose finest days have drifted on into the wilderness.
Not so for subsequent foe, Arnold Barboza, an undefeated Californian who, like his opponent right here, left High Rank looking for one thing completely different.

That 12-round exercise might be simply the rust-shedding train he wanted earlier than this conflict.
Oscar Duarte vs. Batyr Akhmedov
Recent from his late stoppage over Joseph Diaz, a bounceback battle since Ryan Garcia stopped him, Duarte was initially alleged to field Kenneth Sims Jr, who pulled out with a knee damage. In steps a wonderful substitute, Batyr Akhmedov, who has develop into a little bit of an almost man when attempting to recover from the road in huge fights. This must be an excellent scrap, given their respective kinds.
