RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight Pass returns to Mexico for the first time in 2021 on Thursday, April 1st at Polideportivo Centenario, Los Mochis, Sonora, Mexico. Featherweight Antonio “Paulinho” Soares (11-1, 8 KOs), fighting out of Brazil faces Mexico's Alan “Lachorro” Solis (12-0-1, 7 KOs), in the ten-round headliner. In the eight-round co-feature, Mexican welterweight Mauricio “Trompas” Pintor (23-3-1, 14 KOs) battles San Antonio’s Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-3, 8 KOs). Pintor is the nephew of Hall of Famer and two-division champion Lupe Pintor.

 

Also on the card, lightweight Luis “Koreano” Torres (10-0, 7 KOs) takes on fellow Mexican Jose “Cuate” Paez (13-1-1, 10 KOs) in an eight-round bout. Torres vs. Perez is an elimination bout with the victor advancing to the inaugural World Cup Boxing Series starting in June.

 

Undefeated Cuban junior middleweight prospect Yoelvis “La Joya” Gomez (3-0, 3 KOs), living out of Guatemala, steps up in terms of quality opposition in an eight-round bout versus Mexican knockout artist Luis “Desarmador” Pina (20-4, 15 KOs).  A technically sound, aggressive power puncher, the two-time Cuban Youth National champion Gomez is the son of 1980 Olympic gold medalist Jose Gomez.
