The women’s flyweight fight between Allstars Training Center’s Aitana Alvarez (6-7) and undefeated Nicaraguan prospect Yurivia Jimenez (3-0) is one of the most interesting fights on the Superior Challenge 27 fight card.

Alvarez, who’s got back-to-back losses going into the fight, is in big need of winning the bout to get back on track.

“I’m going to show that I’m some steps above her fighting level,” Alvarez said about the matchup. “I predict that it’s going to be a stand-up matchup. I think it will be a challenging fight. She’s undefeated so it’s going to be my job to take that zero off her record. It’s going to be a war.”

Jimenez is a prospect on the growing Nicaraguan MMA scene. She intends to show the Scandinavian fight fans what she’s made of and put a halt to Alvarez’s plans.

”I know she wants to win as much as I do, but in the end, the best wins, and I believe in myself. My goal is to become a big name in MMA in Nicaragua, Jimenez recently told Maximum Sports.
