Background
On May 2nd, the Hard Rock Live in Sacramento becomes the proving ground for a night where legacies are shaped, belts are earned, and the next wave of MMA contenders rise under the spotlight of Urijah Faber's A1 Combat 27.
Headlining the action, Hector Fajardo steps into the cage with a fiery streak and a reputation for aggression that overwhelms opponents early. Known for his sharp boxing and relentless pressure, Fajardo faces a major test in Bruno Souza, a former LFA champion and UFC veteran with a Karate background that makes him a puzzle few have solved. With the vacant bantamweight title on the line, both men are primed to leave everything in the cage.
In the co-main event, Terrance Saeteurn brings his explosive power and fan-favorite style to defend the flyweight championship against Isiah Torres, a technical striker with crisp combinations and a chip on his shoulder. At lightweight, Christian Avalos and Jose Estrada collide for divisional gold, both boasting finishing ability and an all-action approach that promises fireworks.
Mirali Huseynov, a calculated tactician with a well-rounded game, meets Israeli standout Shimon Smotritsky in a welterweight championship showdown that pairs Huseynov's composure with Smotritsky's aggressive pace.
The rest of the card is stacked with rising prospects and hard-hitting veterans, including Justin Cornell and Anthony Figueroa in a battle of lightweight grinders, and Andrew Coyne against Ysidro Gutierrez in a featherweight scrap with knockout potential.
A1 Combat 27 is more than an event, it’s a launching pad for talent hungry to make noise on the national stage. From the opening bout to the final championship bell, Sacramento will witness the raw hunger that fuels the future of MMA.
