Englebrecht Promotions & Events returned to the Hangar at the OC Fair & Events Center in Costa Mesa, CA for yet another sell out show. Setting this night apart from most other nights was the fact that three of the fighters were making their pro debuts.
Opening the show was Riverside’s Eric Valdivia (0-1) vs. Whittier’s Josias Gonzalez (2-1) in a 4 round, middleweight boxing match. It was an East vs. West battle all the way as each fighter called on different tools to counter the other. It first round was fairly quiet until Gonzalez landed a looping left hand and deposited Valdivia on the seat of his pants. Gonzalez went after him but couldn’t finish his game opponent. From there, Valdivia stalked Gonzalez much to the delight of the crowd. He was countered fairly regularly by the coy Gonzalez who, after taking half of round two off, managed to pull out a decision over the tough but outmanned Valdivia.
The heat continued as Huntington Beach’s Nick Olson (1-2) battled Valencia’s debuting Kasamune Spirits (0-1) in a 4 round, welterweight, MMA bout. MMA at the Hangar is always hotly contested and that was again the case tonight as neither warrior wanted to give an inch. It began with Spirits initiating a takedown only to have Olson switch it up on him. Olson landed clean inside shots and was more effective than the seemingly stronger Spirits. The second round saw Spirits again initiate a takedown, and he managed to keep his advantage. Finally, in the third round, Spirits again initiated a takedown that was again taken over by hammer punches from Olson. That about wrapped it up and Olson took a 3 round decision over Spirits.
Riverside’s debuting Nate Palencia (1-0 1KO) took on veteran Edgar Bram (9-25-2) from Tijuana, Mexico in a 4 round super lightweight boxing match. Trujillo and Bram were both very eager and that played right into the hopes of the adoring crowd. It started off as a fairly even contest between a fighter with 35 fights vs. a fighter making their pro debut. However, as the bout wore on, Bram wore down, and was eventually hit too much in the 4th round for the referee’s liking and the bout was stopped.
Closing out the show was a Tequila Mandala Young Champions bout. Jose “El Chingon” Huerta (2-4) of Bell Gardens took on Carlos Elizarraraz (2-3-1) in a 3 round, bantamweight MMA bout. Both combatants knew they had everything to win and nothing to lose, as they each did their best to let it all hang out out for the capacity Fight Club OC crowd. The first round saw Elizarraraz attempt to strike and maul Huerta. However, Jose seemed to have answers and that moved the bout into the second round. It was here that Elizarraraz struck with a brutal right hand, and some hellacious ground and pound that was just too much, and the bout was waved off shortly thereafter.

UFC news: Erin Blanchfield gives update on next fight, title hopes – MMA Junkie

Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said. 
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m. 
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said. 
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle. 
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered. 
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.
Brandon comes to CBS13 from Action News Now (KHSL/KNVN) in Chico where he spent two years as the Digital Content Manager.
