Main Event: Garcia vs. Romero

The evening’s highlight was a welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Rolando “Rolly” Romero. This bout marked Garcia’s return to the ring after a year-long hiatus, following his contentious victory against Devin Haney in April 2024.

Garcia, holding a record of 24 wins, 1 loss, and 20 knockouts, faced off against Romero, who comes in with a record of 16 wins and 2 losses. Garcia’s last match ended in controversy when a majority decision against Haney was later revised to a no contest after he tested positive for the banned substance ostarine, as reported by Uncrowned.
