"We are grateful to him and the Marinaterra Hotel Spa for giving us a beautiful venue so we can promote during the pandemic. This will be our second iKON event and we couldn't be happier to have Bella Mir, the 17-year-old daughter of MMA legend Frank Mir, making her pro debut on iKON2." Boxing is co-promoted by RJJ Boxing Promotions and scheduled to start streaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, followed with MMA action at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, co-promoted by iKON, in association with RJJ Boxing. De La O Promotions is co-promoter of both events. Undefeated Alan "Cachorro" Solis (10-0, 6 KOs), a 6-time Mexican National amateur champion, headlines in the 8-round main event against veteran Mexican lightweight Eddy "Dinamita" Valencia (15-4-6, 5 KOs). The 21-year-old Solis had an amateur record of 87-6 and he was selected as the No. 1 amateur in Mexico's largest state, Chihuahua. He will be stepping up in terms of opposition versus Valencia, who has already defeated a 10-0 fighter, Ronald Ruelas, by way of a third-round technical knockout. He also fought a draw with 20-4-1 Diego Eligio last year. In the 8-round co-featured event, undefeated Luis "Koreano" Torres (8-0, 6 KOs) takes on fellow Mexican super featherweight Orlando Zepeda (9-1, 2 KOs) in an 8-round bout. Torres made his UFC FIGHT PASS last month in San Carlos, defeating Jose Luis Vasquez (10-1) for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth Silver lightweight champion. Undefeated Guatemalan super middleweight Lester Martinez (5-0, 5 KOs) also fought in San Carlos last month on UFC FIGHT PASS, stopping Abraham Hernandez (8-2) in the second round. Martinez, 24, turned pro last year at home in sensational fashion, knocking out 3-time, 2-division Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (32-11-1, 26 KOs) in the second round. Martinez will square off with Rafael "Zurd El Iraki" Amarillas Ortiz (10-4-1, 5 KOs) in an 8-rounder. The "O" must go in the UFC FIGHT PASS opener, which pits two unbeaten Guadalajara super bantamweight prospects, Ezequiel "La Brukena" Borrero (3-0, 1 KO) and Armando Ramirez (3-0 (0 KOs). Scheduled to fight in 4-round bouts off-UFC FIGHT PASS are welterweight Omar Munguia (5-0, 4 KOs) vs. Ramiro "Rammy" Garcia Lopez (5-5, 4 KOs), along with lightweight Jesus Obed Alvarez (3-0, 2 KOs) and super featherweight Rey Daniel Diaz (2-0, 1 KO) versus opponents to be determined. The MMA action starts at 9 p.m. ET. Fresh off his fight in the Dana White Contender Series is Mexican lightweight Alejandro "El Galito" Flores (17-3-0), who is matched against Andy "Golden Boy" Perez (7-11-0), of Tucson, Arizona, in the iKON 2 main event. Mir, fighting out of Las Vegas, will make her much anticipated debut in a bantamweight match against pro debuting Danielle Wynn (4-3-0), of Atlanta.

Also slated to fight on UFC FIGHT PASS is Sweden-native Herden Alacabek (5-1-0), now residing in Los Angeles, versus the Mexican MMA fighter called "Tyson," Juan "Tyson" Ramon Grano Medina (6-4-1) Additional iKON matches will soon be announced.
