Faisal Abu Sham vs Leonardo Moraes
Faisal Abu Sham has accepted the challenge of Brazil's Leonardo Moraes Godoy Gouvea, and the two will meet at Nikki Beach.

Now the Brazilian has a fight of his own.
The Irish Warrior joins the card
Gareth "Mayhem" Murray, billed as "The Irish Warrior", has also been announced for the show. His opponent has not yet been revealed.
