[MMALOPEZ]

Vega Ortiz (16-0, 9 KO) is a 24-year-old from Tijuana with a very “Tijuana” record thus far in his pro career, facing nobody of any consequence. 29-year-old Palmetta (12-1, 8 KO) represented Argentina at the 2016 Olympics.

In the 10-round light heavyweight co-feature, 26-year-old Marcos Escudero (10-0, 9 KO) of Argentina will face 30-year-old Texan Joseph George (9-0, 6 KO).


The opener will be an eight-round middleweight fight between Uruguay’s 23-year-old Amilcar Vidal (9-0, 8 KO) and Texas native Zach Prieto (9-0, 7 KO).
