Elite Productions has announced that Southwest Brawl 5 will be on October 8th at the Las Cruces Convention Center, with a Welterweight main event pitting Fit NHB’s Steve Hanna against Las Cruces’s Armando “Chino” Montoya.
Hanna is a BJJ Brown belt, on a fight win streak, with all win s coming by stoppage; including 3 TKO’s. Hanna’s most recent win, a 2nd round TKO of Cesar Zamarripa, came in the main event of King of the Cage “Duke City”. Montoya is a 7 year pro, who has 6 submission wins, but will be looking to end a 3 fight skid.
Luttrell/Yee MMA’s Jordan Espinosa of Albquerque, NM will face 10th Planet El Paseo’s Jesus Urbina in a Flyweight bout. Espinosa has won 4 of 5 coming off a 2nd round knock out of John Dirham in April. Urbina has won 5 of 6 coming off a July win over previously unbeaten Johny Guillen.
Also on tap for October 8th is Andy Varela vs. Alex Estrada. Varela is 4-0 as an amateur havinf submitted all foes. Estrada ,from what I found has fought twice winning and losing via submission both in 2014.
