Hawn on his Twitter said his fight moved back one week to this event, presumably because of the cuts that Weedman had on his face.
And then they moved Falcao-Spang, originally scheduled for this event, up a week according to Spang. They keep moving tourney fights around due to medical suspensions and balancing out cards.
The last report I saw had Nogueira-Nakamura slated for this event.
Jeremiah Riggs said he’s fighting Kelvin Tiller at this event.
Jonas Billstein said he’s facing Mike Seal.
Josh Shockley said he’ll be fighting, but opponent is unknown. Possibly he’s Clementi’s TBA.
