James Rivera v Frank Mir
It’s the heavyweights folks! Bronks’ own James Rivera will be looking to get his first professional win in his promotional debut using his superb boxing. Nonetheless,his opponent Frank Mir is not half bad boxer, even though his main quality is his ground game, being a strong wrestler and a BJJ purple belt. While Rivera looks like he have a small advantage on his feet, he definitely doesn’t want to go to the ground with someone like Mir.
Ozzy Stanton v William Cockburn
And we move down to the lightweights. Ozzy Stanton will be making his third promotional appearance, the wrestler from Philly will be taking on the english BJJ wizard William Cockburn. Both men posses strong ground games, but the irony happens to be that both of Stanton’s professional losses came via submission, the same way all three off Cockburn’s wins came from, a statistic that will boost the confidence of the English man.
