In the co-main event, wrestling legend Jordan Burroughsreturns to the wrestling mats against top Welterweight Sean Brady.
In addition, Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson kicks off the card against Anthony Cassioppi. As well as three-time NCAA champion Bo Nickal takes on 2025 NCAA champion Max McEnelly.
