More APFC 21 fights Announced — Event Features Two Title Fights
Anthony Pettis Fighting Championship (APFC) 21 will now be a championship doubleheader following the addition of a welterweight title bout.
Set for Sunday, November 23, at the Isleta Resort & Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico, APFC 21 features a stacked lineup showcasing rising prospects and established veterans.
With Emmanuel Sanchez vying for the vacant APFC Lightweight Championship, the 170-pound strap will also find a new home when Albuquerque’s Jalin “The Gentleman” Fuller meets Mobile’s Mark “The Alabama Hammer” Kolker for the vacant APFC Welterweight Title.
Fuller made a strong case for Submission of the Year in his promotional debut, catching Mac Larsen in a slick omoplata–rear naked choke combination at APFC 18. He followed that up with a third-round knockout win in his professional Muay Thai debut earlier this year.
Kolker, meanwhile, earned a unanimous decision over Bobby Galvan in his only 2025 appearance. The AKA welterweight champion has finished four of his six stoppage wins by submission.
Elsewhere on the card, tenacious wrestler Dahlen Wilson looks to rebound from a narrow loss in his middleweight title bid when he faces heavy-handed Reese Watkins, who has ended four of his five victories by knockout.
Santa Fe’s Jess Martinez makes his long-awaited return to the cage after six years away, taking on Mexico’s all-action brawler Giovanny Meza.
