Erik Bazinyan vs. Billi Facundo Godoy - super middleweight – 10 rounds
Bazinyan, rated at No. 6 by The Ring at super middleweight,will look to kick off the year by putting his best foot forward and making a statementto his division when he faces battle-hardened Argentine fringe contender Godoy.
What to expect in this fight:After three straight decision wins, expect Bazinyan to go for a stoppage win in this one. Smart money say he’ll fail, but that won’t stop him from trying.

Angelo Leo vs. Mike Plania - featherweight – 10 rounds
Former junior featherweight titlistLeo will attempt to regain lost ground and aim for a new title boutin this clash with Plania, a ten-round featherweight proposition. An ex-champ looking for redemption against a nails-tough, upset-minded Filipino? Sounds like a solid recipe to me.
