“There are going to be some great fights,” said promotor Glen Kalesniko of Pride Gym. “We’re expecting some great action. We’ve got some good caliber fighters and some newer guys that are going to fight hard. We’ve got a great show for everyone to see.”
The headline pro match features Pride fighter Jordan Knippelberg up against Danny Davis of Las Vegas in the 170lb category. Knippelberg has a 7 win, 2 loss record.
“Jordan is a really good stand-up fighter,” said Kalesniko. “He has really good hands. He’s a really good puncher and kicker. He’s really fast and really exciting to watch.”
