Undefeated strawweight prospect Josefine Lindgren Knutsson will take on Piera Rodriguez in the opening fight of the prelims. The pairing trained together briefly a couple of years back, which makes the contest even more interesting.

“Piera was preparing for her UFC debut,” Knutsson told Frontkick when the fight was announced. “Even though I just had two or three pro MMA fights at the time, I thought her takedowns and takedown defense wasn’t very impressive. It was easy to hold her down, even though I’m coming from a striking background. But she got good boxing and good movement.”

Expect a high-level strawweight bout with two excellent strikers. Make sure to tune in early on Saturday because you don’t want to miss this one!
