JJ Mariano (1-0, 1 KO) is a 25-year-old super lightweight who is coming off his pro debut in Reno where he won against William Flenoy (0-1) by fourth-round stoppage as part of the Oscar Valdez- Jason Sanchez card back in June. Mariano was a combined 38-6-4 between his collegiate and amateur fights. He won a National Championship as a member of the Wolf Pack boxing club in 2015.
Diego Elizondo (2-0-2,) is a 20-year-old lightweight based out of Reno and is coming off a points victory of Sergio Vega in June as part of the undercard of Valdez-Sanchez as well.
