Action shifts to the lightweight division in the middle of this week’s fight cad, as Rodrigo Lidio takes on Mateusz Rebecki.
Lidio is an experienced, 33-year-old Brazilian entering on a four-fight winning streak and brandishing a 12-2 record overall. He spent the early part of his career piling up wins against overmatched competition, but since his last setback in April 2019, he’s faced much better opposition and continued posting stoppage wins, making him an intriguing figure to watch heading into Tuesday fights.

The long-time FEN lightweight champ, Rebecki arrives in Las Vegas with a 15-1 record, a 12-fight winning streak, and a resume filed with stoppage wins. He’s only been to the scorecards twice in his career, has never faced an opponent with a .500 record or worse, and has largely stopped opponents with far more wins than losses.
This feels a little like a “last chance to make the jump” moment for each of these men who have excelled in their respective regions, and that should, in theory, propel them to be at their very best when they step in across from one another this week.
