Last week, it was another return to most of the season’s form, as five out of five fight winners received contracts. That brings the season total to 33 out of 39 fight winners receiving contracts, as well as one fight loser. This week we have a very special slate of fights including, for the first time ever, someone under the age of 18 years old. Raul Rosas Jr, 17, will look to expand on his historical accomplishment in the co-main event as he pursues a victory.
