With a fan-friendly attitude, Sebastian Fundora has quickly ascended to the top of the super welterweight class. The unbeaten 25-year-old southpaw has shown a desire for a close-quarters battle. As an early candidate for the 2022 Fight of the Year, Fundora displayed his mettle in April 2022 when he faced the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin. Both fighters fell to the ground, but Fundora ultimately kept his ground, forcing Lubin's corner to call time on the fight at the end of the ninth round.
Mendoza, who was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, currently competes out of Las Vegas and dropped down to 154 pounds after winning over a former unified champion Jeison Rosario in the fifth round of their middleweight bout in November of 2022. The 29-year-old has also won back-to-back fights against highly regarded fighter Jesus Ramos in a decision loss in September of 2021.
In the co-main event, still undefeated super lightweight Brandun Lee (27-0, 23 KOs) squares off against Pedro Campa (34-2-1, 23 KOs).
