Due to unfortunate circumstances, there was a change to the main event during fight week. Stepping up to challenge Loren Thibodeaux for the AKA professional featherweight title will now be a long-time veteran of the sport in David Bosnick.
A veteran of the professional ranks since 2013, Bosnick will step into the AKA cage for the second time in his career, but this time AKA gold will be on the line. Bosnick's last taste of action was a kickboxing bout in which he was victorious. Throughout his MMA career, Bosnick has racked up several first-round knockout victories. The proof is in the striking with Bosnick. He is always one strike away from ending the contest. Never afraid to face a big name, Bosnick has amateur career wins over two UFC veterans in Tony Kelly and Chris Gutierrez. Aug 24 - Updated fight card & background
