Unfortunately, not all of the matches have held up. Tatsuro Taira and David Dvoak’s flyweight fight has been called off for undisclosed reasons. However, the upcoming card has a tonne of more thrilling competitions.
Michel Pereira was initially scheduled to fight Marc-André Barriault in the middleweight division. Barriault has sadly had to withdraw from the fight due to health reasons, and Andre Petroski will now compete.
Last but not least, there was supposed to be a lightweight fight between Terrance McKinney and Chris Duncan, however, Duncan had to withdraw due to visa complications. As a result, Brendon Marotte, a promotional rookie, fills in for what should be a noteworthy debut.
