Tonight’s Triller Triad Combat event is co-headlined by a heavyweight contest featuring Matt Mitrione taking on Alexander Flores.
Mitrione (13-9 MMA) will be looking to snap his four-fight losing skid at Globe Life Field in Arlington. The former UFC and Bellator fighter last competed in July, where he suffered a TKO loss to Tyrell Fortune.
Meanwhile, Alexander Flores (18-3-1 Boxing) was last seen in action just over twelve months ago, where he suffered a first round knockout loss to Luis Ortiz.
Saturday’s Triller Triad Combat co-main event proved to be a solid back and forth affair. Matt Mitrione utilized the clinch on frequent occasion but also found success while blitzing his opponent with flurries of punches. In round two, the former MMA fighter was able to drop Flores with an uppercut (see that below).
