UpNext Fighting, California’s leading mixed martial arts (MMA) organization, is back with another highly anticipated event at the iconic Commerce Casino on Saturday, September 28, 2024. Known for its electric atmosphere, high-quality production, and thrilling matchups, UNF continues to deliver the best of MMA action, drawing both die-hard fight fans and newcomers.

“The UpNext shows are not like other combat sports shows. Our shows are a whole different vibe. It's like the Hollywood scene meets Gladiator, never a dull moment,” says Director of Experience Kobe Buckner

The UNF 20 will showcase a stacked fight card featuring MMA veterans and rising stars eager to prove their worth in the UNF cage. Fans can expect an unforgettable night filled with high-stakes action that has made UNF events a staple in California’s fight scene.

“The UpNext team continues to put together the best MMA shows in California showcasing some of the sports’ top talent,” says CEO Ryan Buckner.

The night’s main event will see Anthony “The Bully” Romero defend his Bantamweight Title against Ryan “The Lion” Lilley in a grudge match. Their previous encounter ended in a controversy due to an inadvertent low blow, leaving fans eager for a decisive outcome. This time, both fighters are determined to settle the score and claim undisputed dominance in the UNF Bantamweight division.

Other must-watch matchups include the UNF Rising Stars Flyweight Title Bout between Pargev Khachatrian and Tod Stafford and the UNF Featherweight Title Bout between Jesse Strader and Albert Morales.

“We have several of MMA's top prospects on this card that are likely one great performance away from getting called up to the UFC,” Ryan Buckner adds.

In recent years, three of UNF’s athletes have been called to compete in the UFC, the world’s top MMA promotion. Under Buckner’s leadership, the youngest CEO and matchmaker in combat sports, UNF continues to push the boundaries, focusing on providing premium experiences for both athletes and spectators.

Commerce Casino will provide the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable night of combat sports. With capacity crowds and a passionate fanbase, UNF 20 promises another thrilling chapter in its mission to become the future of MMA.
