Island Takeover MMA fight night coming to San Pedro Town

Thursday, July 25th has been set for a fantastic Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight night in San Pedro Town, with nine matches featuring fighters from Belize, Mexico and the United States of America. The event, dubbed ‘Island Takeover,’ will include three Jiu-Jitsu and six MMA combats. The event is scheduled to start at 6PM at the Angel Nuñez Auditorium.
The event, organized by the PRO FC- Belize Mixed MMA League, will include a co-main event and the main event, along with a female match. Two of the fighters representing Belize, Bryce Peterson, and Jash Caballero, shared with The San Pedro Sun that they have been arduously preparing for this fight night and are confident that they will represent well. It will be Caballero’s first fight, and he said that he has been looking forward to this moment. He loves the sport and has been preparing for years to have the opportunity to compete in MMA.
Peterson will be competing in the co-main event against Leonel ‘Bad Boy’ Cetina for the Bantamweight Championship. “It takes a lot of dedication and discipline, and I am doing as much as I can to be fully prepared for my fight,” said Peterson. He stated that he has been improving his techniques and thanks to his coaches for the ongoing training. Peterson is an experienced MMA fighter.
