On Thursday, August 6, 2015, LA Fight Club returns to the Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California for a prospect-filled card headlined by a 10-round Featherweight fight between Abraham Lopez and Jorge Diaz.
The main event, along with two other fights, are scheduled for TV time on Fox Deportes.
Lopez, 27, will look to be impressive if he wants to fight for a title in 2016.
The native of La Puente, California is coming off a knockout win over Alfred Tetteh earlier this year, and welcomes the possibility of a fight against any of the current titleholders at 126 pounds.
Diaz, 27, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, will look to bounce back from a draw against Jose Haro last year.
