The undercard for the “Hollywood Fight Nights” event scheduled for Oct. 26 in Los Angeles has been announced by 360 Promotions.
The fight card, headlined by Omar Trinidad vs. Hector Sosa at the Commerce Casino Events Center, will be broadcast live globally on UFC Fight Pass.
Gor Yeritsyan (18-1, 14 KOs), of Los Angeles, will return to action in an eight-round welterweight bout against an opponent to be determined. Yeritsyan, trained by Freddie Roach, most recently lost a 10-round split decision to Aram Amirkhanyan in a controversially scored bout in July.
Yeritsyan had been scheduled to face Mylik Birdsong, who was tragically shot and killed Sunday night in Los Angeles. Birdsong will be honored with a ceremonial 10-count on fight night.
Additionally, junior bantamweight Daniel “Chucky” Barrera (7-0-1, 4 KOs), of Eastvale, California, will battle Angel Mesa Morales (8-1-3, 6 KOs), of Ensenada, Mexico, in a scheduled eight-round bout. Fighting for the fourth time this year, Barrera, 22, will attempt to follow up on his career-best performance against world title challenger Christian Robles in June. Morales hopes to add to his two-fight winning streak after a sixth-round knockout of Nelson Magalianes in May.
Light heavyweight Umar Dzambekov (9-0, 6 KOs), of Los Angeles, will face Eric Robles (10-4, 9 KOs), of Tijuana, Mexico, over eight rounds. Dzambekov stopped Edward Jeramie Ortiz in the fourth round on Aug. 31, while Robles knocked out Jesus Montenegro on June 22.
Fan favorite “Right Hook” Roxy Verduzco (2-0), of Los Angeles, will be back in a scheduled women’s six-rounder against Sarah Click (2-7). Verduzco, a former amateur standout, outboxed Colleen Davis in her “Hollywood Fight Nights” debut on July 26. Fighting on Aug. 20, Click won a unanimous decision over undefeated Lindsey Ellis.
Lupe Medina (7-0, 2 KOs), of Maywood, California, will try to stay perfect in a six-round bout against Katherine Lindenmuth (6-3, 2 KOs), of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The 20-year-old Medina will fight for the fourth time this year, having most recently defeated Ashley Felix in June. Lindenmuth is returning from a hard-fought 10-round contest against Kim Clavel in May in Montreal.
Also seeing action in separate bouts will be featherweight Abel Mejia (5-0, 4 KOs), of Orange, California, and San Diego bantamweight Adan Palma (9-0, 5 KOs).
