Saucedo 31, (2-0) fights out of Force of One Martial Arts in Clovis. For Saucedo this will be his first time dropping to Featherweight. A father of 5, “Hot Sauce” is coming off a unanimous decision win, in the main event of Jackson’s MMA Series XXIII, over Martinez’s teammate Ernesto Salvidrez. Saucedo is rough an rugged. A game competitor with tons of heart and a killer spinning backfist.
