"My goal is to continue working my way up the top of the Super Flyweight division," said Escalante. "Trejo is a veteran with a lot of experience and I'm taking this fight very seriously. I'm in great shape, I feel I'm at the top of my game, and on fight night I'm going to give the fans a great show."
